Provide an overview of the business proposals, including specific recommendations and the total expense to the reader.
Provide a detailed cost analysis when possible or appropriate. This will allow the reader to evaluate each cost factor as a part of the total package.
To add authority and credence to your proposal provide the reader with supporting facts and figures. These can include examples, survey results, and case studies.
Below is an example:
Dear Mr Bruno:
I enjoyed speaking with you the other day. Enclosed please find a preliminary proposal for Debt Collection for Mafia Services.
I believe this includes all specifications, options and terms we discussed. If not, please let me know as soon as possible so we may revise the proposal to meet your needs.
If all is in order, let us know how and when you wish to proceed. As noted previously, we can arrange a lease with low monthly payments designed to stay within your operating budget. As always the system is available for purchase.
While I understand this is a major undertaking for Mafia Services, I would advise you time is of the essence. Several of our suppliers have announced price increases for the fall. Unfortunately, as their prices increase, so do ours.
The prices included with this proposal are valid for 90 days from the time of receipt. Please call me if you have any questions or require additional information.
