How to write a proposal

Proposals are action plans for the future. Although you need to pay some
attention to current circumstances or situations, your focus should be on
your recommendations for future actions.

Don't forget!

• Begin by stating the purpose of your proposal.


• Use an impersonal, semi-formal style.
• Use a clear layout.
• Express opinions and make recommendations in the last section of
your proposal.
• Include a final sentence (or sentences) summarising your opinion.
