Please let me know what you decide."

On August 5, another used car lot owner saw the 4 cars on Ralph's impound lot and offered him $5,000 cash on the spot. Ralph sold the cars to the other car lot owner. He then emailed Blanch and said, "I'm sorry, the cars are no longer available as I have sold them to someone else." Blanch received the email but did not respond to it.

On August 10, Blanch mailed a letter to Ralph, which said, "Ralph, I have decided to accept your August 1 offer and purchase the 4 specific used cars. I will come by your lot on August 20 to pick them up and I will bring you payment at that time." Due to weather problems that affectedthe mail, Ralph did not receive Blanch's letter until August 16.
