Remember to make it look pro, and add pics, charts, graphs, etc, where needed

below are proposal sections:

Cover page, with title of your project, pics, your name, your company name, make it look pro, make it colorful

Cover letter--pretty short, one page at most , very vague and general over view of project... briefly why it matters, who you are, why you want this change,
you are the one for the job, secret brag, tone is assertive but polite, grateful for the opportunity, but youre not messing around

Table of contents--- if you want... with the names of your sections

Statement of need... (Question 3), ,. this is a research paper so it is crucial you do research
what problems does your project address,
stats, surveys, interviews, personal story, failed past efforts, reasons that the problem exists, emotional appeal,
