Sir,

The Students' Council of our school has decided to buy some books for our class library. We have learnt that your shop offers good-quality books at reasonable prices. We therefore request you to send two copies each of the following books.

1. A collection of Marathi poems for children
2. Forts of Maharashtra – an illustrated guide
3. Easy experiments in science
4. Biographies of great social reformers
5. Marathi–English dictionary

Please send the books in good condition and packed properly. As this purchase is for a school, we would be grateful for the usual discount. The bill amount will be paid as soon as the books are received.

I humbly request you to send the books to the above address within fifteen days.

Yours faithfully,
(Signature)

Key points

• The books ordered are written as a numbered list, and the number of copies is clearly stated.
• How to send the books, by when, and how payment will be made are written precisely.
• The request for a discount is made politely; such a point is useful in an order letter.
• The bookshop's name is fictional; in the exam use only the name and address given in the question.
