Writing Assignment Research Proposal Letter

Writing Assignment Research Proposal Letterfor This Assignment You W

For this assignment, you will write a research proposal letter directed to an audience capable of creating change, such as a Congressperson, business administrators, or similar figures. The letter must propose a change or solution to a current problem, using research-based evidence and a formal letter format. You should include your research topic from a prior assignment and incorporate an interview as a source.

The letter must contain the following components:

  • Your mailing address (optional if privacy is a concern; required if mailing physically)
  • The date of writing
  • The name and mailing address of the recipient
  • A greeting and salutation
  • An introduction identifying and explaining the problem, including researched information
  • The body detailing your proposed solution step-by-step, including costs, funding ideas, justification, and addressing potential counterarguments
  • A conclusion persuading the audience by aligning the proposal with their interests and values
  • Your closing and typed name (signature optional)

The research proposal should be structured as a formal letter, approximately 500 words in length, single-spaced with double-spacing between paragraphs, using font size 12 (Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri), with 1-inch margins. Include at least three credible sources—your interview plus two scholarly references—and cite these sources through signal phrases rather than parenthetical citations. A Works Cited page must be included.

You must clearly state a thesis that suggests a solution to the identified problem, justified with credible evidence and considering counterarguments. The tone should be persuasive, tailored to your audience’s interests and values, and demonstrate academic rigor with proper coherence and logic.
