Our client, Michele Taylor, became engaged to Brian Jackson last year. When Brian proposed, he presented Michele with a large diamond engagement ring from Tiffany & Co., worth approximately $20,000. After a six-month engagement, Brian called the engagement off, telling Michele that he just wasn't ready to be married. Brian has asked Michele for the engagement ring to be returned to him. Michele has refused. YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Please help write a memorandum for me relating to this matter. The memorandum should be no more than Use correct citation form.
