Nilai
71800 Negeri Sembilan
Malaysia
Dear Fiona
We talked some time ago about your buying some of my dental equipment when I retire from my practice at the end of this month. I am prepared to let you have everything for RM15,000. Let me know fairly quickly if you’re interested because I’ve already had a very good offer from one of my colleagues.
Your affectionate uncle
Arnold
Fiona is keen to take advantage of her uncle’s offer but is unsure whether she can raise such a large amount of money by the end of September. She phones her uncle to find out whether she can have until after Christmas to pay. He uncle is away at a conference and so Fiona leaves a message with his secretary. Two weeks pass by and, as Fiona has not heard from her uncle, she arranges a loan with her bank. On 28 September she writes to her uncle accepting his offer and enclosing a cheque for RM15,000. On 30 September, her uncle phones to say that he has already sold the equipment to someone else.
Advise Fiona.
