Writing a Philosophical Abstract. Help?

I am asked to compose an abstract for my Thesis. I normally don't have problems writing reactions/reflections as essays and I never asked for advice when it comes to writing because I am shy and I feel that when asked for precedural steps in writng my essay would become dry or boring and too formal. But on this case I really need to write an effective philosophical abstract since it needs to be concise and I'm quite ornamental in my writing (or so as what i've observed on myself). It would be much appreciated whoever notices this.
