Hello.

The person I am talking about is going to send me the books. Can I omit ''to me'' and ''me'' in my sentence?

1. ''Tomorrow she will send everything.''

Instead of:

2.''Tomorrow she will send me the books.''
3. ''Tomorrow she will send the books to me.''
4.''Tomorrow she will send me everything.''
5.''Tomorrow she will send everything to me.''

The phrase to me adds a meaning, so if you don't use it, you won't have that meaning.
 
Tomorrow she will send everything.
OK.


Tomorrow she will send me the books.
OK.


Tomorrow she will send the books to me.
OK.

Tomorrow she will send me everything.
OK.

Tomorrow she will send everything to me.
OK.
 
It's fine to not say me, but if you don't say it, the sentences won't say whom the books are being sent to.

If that's okay, then you can remove every me.
 
Context should make it clear what is intended. (There is always context.)
