A Letter of Transmittal on Company Problems

Prepare and submit a report to a decision maker in your company or to a leader in your community describing a real problem and offering your considered solution to that problem for the decision maker to approve and implement. The problem must be one that you do not have the authority or resources to solve by your own action alone, but the targeted decision maker does.
Your proposal should consist of [in this order]:
A Letter of Transmittal (external) or Routing Slip (internal) to a named, real decision maker
A Title Page with your name, the addressee’s name and position, the title of your proposal, and the date
An Abstract with key words
A Table of Contents with page numbers
A List of Illustrations listing the titles of your illustrations and their page numbers
The core content with headed sections addressing the problem, background, your proposed solution, and implementation steps required of the decision maker.
The final section should be a list of at least four external References in APA format. These references must be incorporated in the text in the form of APA-style citations, and you must include at least one sourced graphic (not clipart) that furthers your explanation of the problem. No more than TWO sources can be interviews and there must be at least one other type of source represented (web, book, journal, newspaper, etc).
