So. The thesis is a tough one. I have thought about this back and fourth and I believe that it will have time to change about a million times before it's time to write the actual paper. This is however what I have so far:
--> Even though the goal may be the same, the style of writing will change depending on who the recipient is. For example the tone in a letter requesting a grant will be very different from a letter asking relatives for money.
I still have the feeling that I am doing everything wrong.

I had trouble nailing down a thesis statement too, and I changed my mind several times through the first few drafts, still unsure of it. So don't feel bad, I think its an idea at first, then you write the main essay, and come back after and say "what 5 words SELL this essay?" -At least that is how I tend to go about it, hope it helps, you are not alone!
