2. Prepare gift offer letter. Download a copy of the LRC Sample Donation Letter.docx (link below). Use Microsoft Word or other compatible software to open and edit the file. In the letter, be sure to include:
   1. Letterhead. Insert your appropriate letterhead or address block where indicated at the top
   2. (Optional) Valuation. If desired, insert an approximate value for the donated materials. If you do not wish to include a valuation, delete the phrase "[valued at approximately $ _____]" from the letter. The LRC and USU are unable to provide a valuation.
   3. Itemized List. Insert an itemized list of the materials you would like to donate, or attach a separate list to the letter
   4. Donor contact information. Insert your contact information where indicated

4. Wait for response. DO NOT send the materials to the LRC yet. The LRC will forward your donation offer to the appropriate channels for approval. All donations to USU and LRC must be approved by the Secretary of Defense.
