Your client, Bob Buyer, comes to your office on November 1 and tells you the facts set forth below. Bob wants to know if he has any remedies that will enable him to buy the farm, Blackacre, from Sam Seller.

You tell Bob you would like to think about his problem and will send him a letter or a memo of advice ON OR BEFORE NOON ON NOVEMBER 4.

FACTS:
Sam and Bob have been talking about the possible sale of a farm owned by Sam.
Sam said he was only mildly interested in selling. Bob, who had brought up the subject in the first place, thought the price Sam mentioned was too high.

On September 1, Bob signed and sent the following letter to Sam:
“During our talk last week, you insisted you could not possibly sell your farm, Blackacre, for less than $50,000. I need more time to decide whether to pay that much, but I would like to receive your offer to sell Blackacre for that amount. I need 30 days to decide. Enclosed is my check for $50. If you are interested, answer this letter within 10 days.”

Sam received this letter on September 6. On September 15, Sam replied by mail. His signed letter read, in part, as follows:
“Receipt is acknowledged of your check. I could not possibly sell Blackacre for less than $50,000.”

Sam’s letter was received by Bob on September 19. Thirty days later, on October 19, Bob decided to purchase.

On October 19, Bob called Sam on his landline and on his cell but received no answer. Sam was deep sea fishing in an area that had no cell service. Bob then decided to send a letter to Sam stating, “I hereby accept your offer to sell Blackacre”. Bob put the letter in the mailbox on October 19. Sam received the letter on October 21.

In a letter dated October 25, Sam refused to sell.
