A proposal? 

CAE says...

A proposal may be written for a peer group (such as colleagues or club members), or for a supervisor (such as a boss or a college principal). You will be expected to make one or more suggestions, supported by factual information and evaluation, in order to persuade the reader of a course of action.

Difference Report and Proposal

The general purpose of a report is to identify a specific current problem, explain it objectively and recommend action that will lead to a solution.

The general purpose of a proposal is to indentify a particular need, explain it and recommend how this need can best be met.

Difference Report and Proposal

• Written to someone with authority or peer VS
  
• Written to someone who needs to make a decision usually which involves spending or investing money 
  

• Written to people who can take action or affect outcome VS
• Written to someone whose decision will directly benefit the writer in some way or a group writer belongs to
  

The general purpose of a report is to identify a specific problem, explain it objectively and recommend action that will lead to a solution.

(e.g. a client or customer, a committee, someone responsible for finances within company or organization, etc.)

(e.g. writer is a salesperson) 

(e.g. a local amateur athletic team that needs support) > so more persuasive writing.

Create the outline. 

Take a look at the examples on Magister (Cam4 studiewijzer). Create a template for a CAE proposal.  

Remember? A template is like an outline. What is the structure that you should use when you write a proposal?
