OK, this is going to sound like a question from a real n00bster, but I am being drawn toward this idea with the same amount of gravitational pull that I feel when cruising by a McDonald's -- while hungry and fully-aware that there's a "buy one/get one free sale on Big Macs.
In my proposal Sample Chapter, I really want to include two photos I plan to use in the finished book.
Is it completely unacceptable to include photos/graphics in a proposal?
I was under the impression that this is unprofessional.
If so, then do I make note of the placement of the photo only? Or do I ignore any mention of it?
Here is a sample from my book on online auction fraud and phishing scammers:

Here is a sample from my book on online auction fraud and phishing scammers:
The following graphic is a typical message you may find inside a fraudulent eBay auction description block. You will notice the search terms I used in locating these scams in the block below.
Once you have observed several dozen of these bogus listings on eBay or other auction websites they will become instantly recognizable. You can practice finding them by using eBay’s Advanced Search option.
In the search text box, type the words, “my address was spammed” or “email me directly.” Other text searches that will produce scam listings are, “won’t be able to respond” and “email storage limit”.
Again, using the email address is the scammer’s first attempt to pull you off eBay and into his web of deceptive emails and fraud shipping or escrow websites.
