As far as I can remember, you have to say what the subject is going to be (ie what you are researching), why you've chosen this topic, how you intend to go about finding answers (reading journal articles, conducting surveys etc), and what you expect to find. Think you also have to say how you are going to make sure that your research paints a fair and accurate picture of the truth, what problems you think may occur, and how you would get around these.
Basically, it tells your tutors what you're planning on doing so if it's a bad idea they can stop you before it's too late! So you really have to sell the idea to them.
Also, this might be useful - found it on the internet:
The main purpose of a dissertation proposal is to prove each of the following:
* the problem is significant enough to warrant investigation;
* the method one plans to use is suitable and feasible;
* the results are likely to be fruitful and will make an original contribution.
The dissertation proposal will provide a general idea of what the dissertation writer is proposing to research, but it does not have to be a final, binding commitment. It can serve as a starting point for discussions with the writer's supervisor about topic, methodology, and mechanics of research.
While the structure of a standard proposal is not set in stone, a typical proposal includes the following:
* aims and objectives
* significance
* review of previous research in the area and justification for further research
* proposed methods
* expected outcomes and their importance
* requirements for equipment, materials, field trips, and funding (if applicable)
* approximate time by which each stage will be completed
The length of the writer's dissertation proposal can range from 3-4 pages to 30-40 pages, depending on the requirements of a particular department in a particular university.

Hope that helps and good luck. Hope there aren't too many all-nighters!

Leaving it a bit late, ours had to be in by October.
We had to lay out what we were righting about and the sources we would be using and how we would use them (History dissertation).

First off, tackle your spelling. You can't expect to have a thoroughly researched, and grammatically correct paper if you can't get past the basics. The website below offers some assistance.
