Dear Sir.

We are working in a nonprofit volunteer work, it's very likely that there will not be a commercial publishing at the end of the project. However, if it out of the question to grant permission to translate the book and it is necessary to buy translation rights for the title, we'll be thankful to you if you send us the price or the student price if there is any. May be we can find a sponsor to fix this issue.

Thanks for your time and attention.

Dear Ms. Larisa Elt,
Rights Manager
We are glad to contact you again for further dealing with you to translate another one of the valuable titles:
Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology (2007)
This project is to support  group of pharmacy students working on  translation project  under our supervisory
As we have found this titlevery good and worthful, and its translation would offer a big use for the Arab readers and specialists, we kindly ask your permission to translate this title into Arabic and we aim to distribut it on copy protected CD 500 copies, bearing in mind that we usually supply about 80% of these CD to the universities in Arab Countries, and the rest is sold at cost price to individuals in Syria and other Arab Countries.
So we kindly ask your permission to translate this book into Arabic.
As you know we are a non-profit educational and cultural foundation, we should be very grateful if you would send us your appropriate agreement for the above title with a draft contract including your terms, hoping that we will get a reasonable flat royalty.
With our best regards,
Sincerely yours

Prof. Dr. Zaid Al ASSAF
Director of ACATAP

Is this project still of interest to you? If so, could you please confirm whether the specification you provided previously is still correct, so that I can provide the appropriate information?
