An overdraft protection fee is a fee assessed to your account when: 1. You have set up overdraft protection for your checking account, usually in the form of a savings account or line of credit/credit card; and 2. You spend more money than you have in your checking account. Overdraft protection transfers money from the linked savings account or line of credit/credit card in order to pay for the expenses that you did not have enough money for in your checking account. There is a fee for this transfer, but it is usually much less - sometimes a savings of 50% - than an insufficient funds fee, which you receive when you spend more money than you have and do not have overdraft protection.
To prevent overdraft charges, you can monitor your account balance regularly, set up alerts for low balances, keep a buffer in your account, and consider opting out of overdraft protection.

Many accounts have an overdraft, meaning you can withdraw more than you have, but which means your balance goes into the negative though, ie, you're now borrowing money from the bank. If you have overdraft on your account, you can withdraw up to the amount of overdraft protection you have. If you do not have overdraft protection, you can withdraw only up to the actual amount you have in your account.
To have access to overdraft, one must already have an account at a bank, most likely a checking account. To request overdraft protection, one does not need to write a letter. Rather, one should go to their local branch and let them know that one wants to add overdraft to their account. The bank will then perform a credit evaluation and an ability to pay evaluation of the account holder and make a decision.
