Maintain a consistent tone throughout the proposal.

some background, a main body made up of the suggestions you are proposing and
a conclusion lruhich sumrparises what you have already said. The main body cin be

always adaptrthe layout to suit the needs of a given proposal as long as your points
are clearly separated, organised and easy for the reader to follow.

) A proposal isisimilar to a report but it is generally created in'response to a problem,

prompting ailion or further discussion. lts function is usually to convince somebody
of somethingi rather than just reporting facts and statigtics. For this reason, make an
effort to incorpqrate persuasive language into your report. lt's also a good idea to have
