I have an excellent resource for documentary proposal writing, I will post it later on (as I'm at work right now).
I'll try to post the other examples of proposal writing as well for you for you other post too.

#3 on Fahad's list is the one I was going to send to you lol.
It's very concise and if you follow this, it will contain most of which you'll need to at least get someone to read it (which is what you want).
You might want to pick up the book "Directing the Documentary" by Michael Rabiger as well... probably the most detailed and informative book you'll find concerning everything to do with documentary films.

you are too 
Ironically enough, I've actually printed off those examples you gave before, they are great starter points for anyone looking to do proposals or submissions.
