Typical Scenarios for the Proposal
Imagine that a nonprofit organization focused on a particular issue wants an expert consultant to write a handbook or guide for its membership. This document will present information on the issue in a way that the members can understand.
Imagine that a company has some sort of problem or wants to make some sort of improvement. It sends out a request for proposals; you receive one and respond with a proposal. You offer to come in, investigate, interview, make recommendations—and present it all in the form of a report.
Some organization wants a seminar in your expertise. You write a proposal to give the seminar—included in the package deal is a guide or handbook that the people attending the seminar will receive.
You want to write a business prospectus for the kind of business you intend to start up. Imagine that you want a top-quality prospectus and don’t have the time or expertise to prepare one; therefore, you send out request for proposals to professional consultants. You change hats and pretend you are Business Startup Consultants, Inc., and send your other self a proposal to do the job. Your proposal accepted, you (as Business Startup Consultants, Inc.) write the prospectus.
Some agency has just started using a fancy desktop-publishing system, but the documentation is giving people fits. You receive a request for proposals from this agency to write some sort of simplified guide or startup guide.

Here is an example from a student who does really good work.

PS. This is actually for my son who is in a community college so it needs to be simple. Nothing fancy. The example above is from a student but an adult and very intelligent. I really just sent it to you for an example of the format. Email format. My son used a homework help and the tutor plagiarized it and he got a 0. The instructor said he could resubmit so please simple and absolutely no plagarism.
