1. On Thursday, April 25, Bong mailed Maria a letter offering to sell his car to her for $5,400 and stating that he must know her decision no later than 10 AM Monday, April 29. On Saturday, April 27, having changed his mind, Bong sent a fax to Maria’s office revoking his offer. On Sunday, April 28, Maria gave her letter agreeing to buy Bong’s car to a delivery service that guaranteed delivery of Maria’s letter to Bong before 10 AM Monday morning. The service delivered her letter to Bong Monday morning. Maria did not go to her office over the weekend and thus did not learn that Bong had changed his mind until Monday morning.
