CASE 16: Revising a Brief Proposal

You work for an educational software company. Because most school districts are facing tough economic times, they need financial assistance in order to buy your company’s products. The company has prepared a proposal guide for schools to use in applying for grants that will enable them to purchase the company’s products. Your supervisor notes that this information hasn’t been updated in a few years. He asks you to take a look at the effectiveness of the current sample proposal letter and suggest ways it could be improved. He’d also like you to annotate the letter to explain its various sections.
