How to write a cover for a business proposal

When writing a business proposal cover letter, this is the best format to follow:

• Address the recipient with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).”

• The next step is to inform the recipient of the subject of your proposal.

• Inform the recipient of your reason for the proposal. Ensure you are as clear as possible with the terms and any relevant statistics.

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position further.

This year, we once again have an available sponsorship opportunity at our holiday extravaganza and silent auction. Last year, thanks to our generous sponsors like yourself, we raised more than $200,000, which allowed us to provide clothing, food, coaching for job interviews and assistance with resume preparation for thousands of clients in 2020.

This year, the 2021 event is being held on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15 and 16, with three levels of available sponsorship:

• The Platinum Sponsor: We feature your company name and logo on our prominently displayed banner and all advertising and marketing material for the event advertising. We feature your company logo prominently on the event T-shirt and welcome two representatives from Bloomfield, Mercury, Ford & Lincoln at our annual dinner on Sunday, November 16. The cost of this sponsorship is $7,000.
• The Gold Sponsor: We prominently feature your company name and logo on the banner and include your logo on the event T-shirt. The cost of this sponsorship is $2,000.
• The Silver Sponsor: We display your company logo on the event T-shirt for a cost of $1,000.

Sample 4: “Cover letter for a business proposal”

“Dear Mr. John Don,

I am pleased to enclose here our proposal on Adaption to Climate Change: Agroforestry and Sustainable Farming Practices in Kaule, Nepal to be implemented by KEN. We hope this proposal will allow you to come to a decision regarding support for this project in the coming weeks. KEN requests NPR 1,029,300 from the Embassy’s Small Grants Fund for local NGOs.

KEN last received funding from the Embassy two years ago for rebuilding after the earthquake. From our last meeting with your staff, we understand the Embassy is looking to build resiliency before the next big disaster strikes. Our project directly addresses this issue.

Adaption to Climate Change is a project focused on enhancing the resilience of small-scale farmers to the effects of climate change and opening up new possibilities for income generation. With your support, we will be able to eliminate reliance on cash crops and diversify farmers’ income, allowing for a better, sustainable lifestyle for all 762 residents of Kaule within 12 months.

I will be happy to respond to any questions you may have about the proposal. I can be reached at xx.xxx@KEN.org or +977-xxx-xxx xxx.

We thank you again for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Rama Thapa”
