Read the following scenario, then draft a client opinion letter based on the instructions.

Dr. Roberts, a dentist, hired Vera Sawyer as a dental hygienist. Sawyer prepared a written contract of employment for a three-year term. Both Roberts and Sawyer executed the agreement. The contract provided the terms of Sawyer's remuneration and that her work hours consisted of a "40 hours work week Monday thru Friday." The contract was silent as to the nature of the services to be rendered or the place of employment.

When Dr. Roberts terminated Sawyer's employment four months later, she visited your law firm seeking legal advice. Draft an opinion letter to Sawyer explaining the statute of frauds. Remember to be sure that your client opinion letter addresses

1. Was the agreement one which the Statute of Frauds required to be in writing in order to be enforceable?
2. Did the terms of the writing satisfy all of the requirements of the Statute of Frauds? If not, what necessary terms were missing?
