PLEASE HELP ASAP

Creating an unsolicited business proposal (but this will be an individual assignment). If you were to create your own business as an independent freelancer or as an entrepreneur what would it be? Brainstorm the services you could perform for local businesses. Identify as many services as you can that are related to your major and career interests, and also include anything that you are willing to do to create revenue. Now, identify a company (small or large) that may have some opportunities for you. Remember this is an unsolicited proposal. (Refer to chapter 14 - page 411... the writer makes the first move. It should not come as a surprise to the recipient but rather a summation of an ongoing conversation between the sender (you) and the recipient. - so for this assignment, let's presume that your proposal is a follow up to a conversation you had with the contact at the business you've identified - you can make up a name for that person). Create a short proposal that describes what your business can do for this company, how the company would benefit from your services, why you are the right person for the job, how much you propose to charge for your services. Your writing should be persuasive! Refer to the AIDA model (gain attention, build interest, create desire, and motivate action)
