A hypothetical plan for a mission in letter form asking for a grant.

Dear Mr. Bill Gates: As you may already know, I am the director of NASA's Project Mars. After years of research, my colleagues and I have developed a preliminary plan for a manned research mission to Mars. The purpose of this mission would be to investigate the prospect of creating a permanent research settlement on the surface of Mars. A mission like this has countless benefits, for you, and for the entire world. Many missions …

…far more numerous than one can think of, but we need your help to make it happen. The opportunity is right in front of you. All you have to do is make the step. Sincerely, (your name) Works Cited Mission: Possible. NASA. 14 Nov. 2002. <http://aerospacescholars.jsc.nasa.gov/HAS/Cirr/Em/l11/Lift11.htm> A Crewed Mission to Mars....
