I have to write a detailed letter explaining the individual topic that I have selected for my term paper.
I'm looking for a sample letter to base it on and can't find it anywhere.
I have my topic, I just need to present it to my professor.
My letter should explain why I selected this particular topic, how I intend to present it, and why it is important in today's world.
I know why I selected the topic, and how I intend to present it, and why it's importnat, I just need a good way to start it off.
It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you need to say already, so I don't know that you really need so much of a model of what one should look like. I'd just start typing and see what you get, as that's all anyone who's good at these really does.
If you're having a difficult time starting, what I usually do with abstracts is come up with a solid first sentence that falls under the "why it is important in today's world" heading. Just pick out that one (or two) central point(s) and put them in a sentence to hopefully get across to your audience why they should even bother to keep reading. (Well, okay, presume this wasn't an assignment that had to be read in order to be graded.) Talk about why it's an important problem today. . . which will lead you to why you picked it. . . and then to how you're going to present in in the paper your professor is now going to read.
What you're talking about sounds a lot like an abstract or executive summary. You can access any scholarly journal and read samples of both.

This website is for the Journal of Nutrition. Just search for any article and you can read the abstracts for free.
Just make sure that you address your teacher's specific questions too. Good luck.
