Donations could be in cash or kind. Getting cash donations is comparatively difficult. One such donation request is for books. Many schools run by orphans, charity houses, who wish to study, etc., need books. Some charity houses also wish to set up a library in some locality, and they would also need books. Thus instead of asking for cash one can request the person to donate books. While asking for books donation it is better if one can provide the list of the topics for which the books are needed. This would help them get exactly what they want.
Books are generally for libraries and books donation mainly aims to enrich the already collected books or to make the function a new library. As mentioned earlier, the book collection is done for the use of the general public or for the use of a particular professional college or school. The main thing you have to consider before writing a book donation letter is that you should ensure before request that the particular person to whom you are making the request is interested in donating his books and he should have a huge collection of books. When the letter is in a pleasing way the donor may act in a positive way.

Dear Mr. Roy,
I am John, the chief organizer of Blossoms charity trust and I have been working with them since past 4 years. Today I am writing this to request you to donate some books for the following subjects – Math, Geography, and Science. We support many underprivileged children who wish to study, but cannot afford it. Besides awarding scholarships to some excellent minds, we cannot let go others who are average in studies. We help them by paying their school fees, uniforms, giving them books etc.
We need books for the above-mentioned subjects for 80 students from grade 7th to 9th. We request you to donate some books from your publication to help these children. If your publications cannot provide the mentioned books you can hep us where to find them or you can give us financial support. If you have the books you can intimate us and we will send one of our volunteers to collect the same from you so that you do not have any problems. Hope we would get a positive and quick reply so that we can get back to you. Thanking you in anticipation.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
John Smith
