Please draft a memorandum supporting that a contract
was creates between Gina and Sally.
Gina placed an advertisement in a local newspaper: “Wanted: Someone
to clean my four-bedroom, four-bath house (1500 square feet) once a
week for the next month; pay $45 per hour. No interview or
references necessary. The first to apply will be accepted.” She
included her phone number. Sally called her the next day and said,
“I accept on the terms you have offered.” Gina said, “You should
know there was a mistake in the advertisement. The pay will be the
same, but my house is actually 2000 square feet.” Sally said, “Let
me think a moment.”
Gina replied, “I have a call on another line, and I’ll call you
right back.” When she called Sally two minutes later, Sally said,
“I agree to clean for you on the terms you described. An extra 500
square feet does not matter to me.”
Gina told Sally, “I’m sorry, but I’ve changed my mind and I think
I’ll do my own cleaning.”
Sally sues Gina for breach of contract.
