Writing a Proposal
The narrative of a proposal is usually the full description of the project you are proposing. It is the heart of the proposal.
Here is a basic pattern that you can follow while writing the narrative. Of course, if the clients specify a pattern or form to follow, you should give them what they want. This pattern works well in situations where a pattern is not specified.
