Sample Business Proposal Letter

Here’s a sample business proposal letter.

Figures 1 and 2 present the cover letter produced to accompany the proposal written in the module entitled ‘Writing the Proposal Content’ using the principles outlined in the module ’The Importance of the Business Proposal Cover Letter’.  Remember how in ’Writing an Executive Summary’ the entire content of your proposal was telescoped down into a compelling Executive Summary?

Well, this cover letter has telescoped the Executive Summary down even further.

 

Notice how the cover letter sets your readers up to read and more easily understand the Executive Summary; the Executive Summary sets them up to want to read your main proposal sections; and your main proposal sections make sense of the more detailed proof material in the Appendices section.

That’s the relationship your cover letters should always have to your proposals. Keep the  ’Winning Proposal Model’ in mind at all times and you’ll maintain this strong thread, this powerful selling dialogue, through all of your proposal correspondence.

     I recently had to write a proposal and I found this site called Quotegine. They had all kinds of samples on their website. Their service was fast and easy to use. They had cover letters and all kinds of custom designs you can choose from. Their website is http://www.quotegine.com. I highly recommend their service if you need to create a proposal.

     Deiric,

    I did find some useful material on the blog. I mostly used the layout and the different sections to layout my proposal. It helped me greatly. Thank you! I hope you like Quotegine as well. I really enjoy their service.
