Like trickykid says it would be best to write a paper yourself or with the help of a friend/acquaintance/coworker that has better writing skills than yourself. To sell a boss on anything new you need to show how specifically how it will enhance your business with preferably little or no cost to your company this is why it is to your advantage to write up a proposal specific to your company. Again this isn't something your on your own to do, having a coworker work on it with you would be a great way to go about writing a proposal, by having two employees name on the paper you show your boss that Linux has more than one supporter in the company, you also show that your a team player (sounds generic and crappy I know but not so much to an employer). For resources look to eweek, newsforge, and the IBM Linux web site these have good articles giving reasons for migrating to Linux and the IBM site has case studies and testimonies. A major concern for businesses is corporate backing in other words if something goes wrong there had better be someone to blame, preferably someone with name recognition ie. IBM, Novell, RedHat, HP.
Also this community is here if you have questions while writing a paper ask them here and when you feel your close to getting done I would not be surprised to find someone here that is a good paper/proposal writer that might be willing to edit your paper for you to help make it stronger.
