Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) If your proposal is unsolicited, your transmittal letter will already have caught the reader's interest, making a synopsis or an executive summary redundant.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) If the proposal is solicited, treat the transmittal letter as a positive message, highlighting those aspects of your proposal that may give you a competitive advantage. If the proposal is unsolicited, the transmittal letter should follow the advice for persuasive messages, the letter must persuade the reader that you have something worthwhile to offer that justifies reading the proposal.
