the content of the letter would depend on what you are soliciting for.  there are many types of solicitation letters.  I will put some websites in the sourcs section for ya and u can check them out.  I like the one from bcaction.com.  Both of them are in the PDF format which means you are going to need adobe reader to see the documents.  If you are using an up to date computer you should have it but if not you can download it from http://adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Sales is hard enough without the comments and backseat driving of someone not being supportive.  You need to let your friends and family off the hook, though-- you need to expand your market beyond them so they don't dodge you out of fear of a sales pitch.\n\nTry doing some simple posters about the product line, or feature one product like a good sunscreen or wrinkle cream and make a cheapo flyer, hang it up at apartment complexes (bulletin boards often by the mailboxes or in the laundry rooms), daycare centers, coffee shops, laundry mats, etc.  you get the idea.    Good luck, building a clientele takes time and effort, it doesn't happen overnight.

I would use Micrsoft Word. You will have more control of the look and layout than if you buy a program designed for writing proposals. Of course if you don't know what to put in a business plan and proposal you could buy one of a million different books and software programs as a guide. Check out http://www.businessplans.org/ for some guidance on which ones are best.

And how do you propose someone does this on this format?

Most large companies will not accept unsolicited ideas for the simple reason that they could later get sued if they came up with the same idea independently.  \n\nIf the idea is so good, either do it yourself or, at least, get a patent on it. Then you'll be in a better position to sell the idea to someone else.

I think it would be a great seller.  If this is something you are making yourself, you should sell other products in the same product line, this way, all your eggs are not in one basket.

Be very leery of the companies on TV that say they will bring your idea to market.  Most of those are scams.  They will steal your idea and give you little to nothing for it.  Have you considered who you would sell the product or service to?  Depending on the product, you can have your product manufactured by a company that does that kind of stuff, then sell the finished product to a retailer.  You would be the "middle-man" but your only work is finding a good manufacturer with the right price and selling the finished product to the retailer once.  (Think of selling it to a Wal-mart.)  You'd take a nice profit off the top.  Have you considered licensing your product to a distributor thus receiving a royalty.  That reduces a lot of headache and minimizes your liability.  It would be their responsibility to manufacture it and sell it.  Those little battery testers on packages were done that way.  Don't put all your hope in a "company" that will magically make you rich.  You are creative, so think of creative ways to get the product to market.

This isn't a joke...but I think you should sell something people want. Be original and invent something.

Start with your sphere of influence.  It doesn't cost much to prospect them.  Also, sign up for as much agent phone time as you are allowed.  As far as an intro letter, I have been told that tri-fold brochures (Microsoft Publisher) are much better.  Include hobbies, family...make it personal as if you are already their friend.  That builds trust and a relationship.  Don't spend all you make...definetely have a rainy day savings fund.

Contact an import/export company and send them a sample of your product. They will in turn look for buyers of your product. Can you produce the product on a mass scale?

Make sure that you write up the idea and then have it dated and notorized and copyrighted. Then you would need an agent or be really agressive to pitch it to a network. They will wan to you to have experience etc, but if you are aggressive enough someone may listen. you want to try and pitch to the development department.
