Your supervising attorney has a client, Sarah Delbarton, who has four children (Amy, age 12; Clara, age 8; Reginald, age 6; and Hugo, age 5). Ms. Delbarton, a single mother, travels extensively on business. Ms. Delbarton is in the process of hiring a tutor to teach her children. The tutor will receive room and board, a salary, and insurance benefits. The tutor will have a three-month probationary period, after which will begin a one-year term. Ms. Delbarton would like an option to renew for an additional year. After the renewal year, the parties will be free to renegotiate the contract. The household staff includes a housekeeper, a nanny, a cook, and a gardener. Ms. Delbarton would like your law firm to identify the appropriate person, conduct the initial interview to screen applicants, complete the necessary background check, and prepare the necessary documents. Ms. Delbarton, however, would conduct the final interview and make the selection. Ms. Delbarton would like to remain anonymous until the final interview.

Assume that Ms. Delbarton has interviewed and selected Gwenneth Lloyd-Jones for the position and your firm has, on Ms. Delbarton's behalf, sent Ms. Lloyd-Jones an offer.

Ms. Lloyd-Jones, however, has responded with the following letter:

"Thank you for your letter of June 5th. While I find the position and the terms of your letter very enticing, I have been advised to request that the following be added to the contract.

1. In the event of a dispute, I would like us to attempt to resolve the dispute by negotiation. If that fails, I would like us to try mediation. Only if negotiation and mediation fail, would we resort to arbitration. Disputes would not be resolved by litigation. Also, disputes will be resolved in this state using the laws of this state.

2. Although this contract is for a stated term, I would like the opportunity to terminate the contract upon four weeks' notice.

3. I would like the option to include an automatic increase in compensation of 10 percent.

4. I would also like to be assured that during the first and each successive year of my employment, a two-week paid vacation is provided. Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience if these requests are satisfactory. I have another offer and need to make a decision within the next two weeks."

Draft a response.
