address of the contact person and
company where you are sending
your proposal.

Re:[Project Name]
 [Project Specification, i.e., Robot for Bomb Disarming Project]
Dear Mr Smith: File:Inst2.gif

Always use a colon in formal salutation.

 
  

1st PARAGRAPH

Introduce your company and the proposal request you are responding to. Briefly state the
problem described in the RFP for your project. Make sure you demonstrate your understanding
of the problem. Then, briefly state – using persuasive language – your solution to the problem.
Explain why your company and solution are the best choice.

 

2nd PARAGRAPH

Now, provide the background information necessary to demonstrate a full understanding
of the problem. This will allow you to describe the problem in more detail. In the concluding
sentence of this paragraph, describe your solution

3rd PARAGRAPH

Build on that last sentence and provide a detailed description of your project. You will
need to include both mechanism (e.g. the robot itself) and process (e.g., how the robot works)
descriptions.

 

4th PARAGRAPH

Explain why your company is the best choice for the job. Don't do this by saying that you
are the best. Come up with ways to demonstrate your qualifications. Argue persuasively that your
company understands the request and is best suited to fulfill it.

 

 

Concluding Paragraph

In two or three sentences, mention again the proposal name, concisely focus on the
problem, your proposed soltuion, and what your firm will bring to the project. Make sure you
express a strong interest in working on this job. Provide contact information.
