A formal proposal typically suggests a solution to a problem or benefit to the reader. It does not necessarily make a special request on behalf of the writer, and it may use either the indirect or direct approach depending on the situation. Outlining job requirements is usually the function of a job description or job posting, not a formal proposal.
