On November 1, Anita sent a letter to Dan with whom she had been negotiating a contract to sell all of her law textbooks for HK$10,000. The letter said that unless Dan could reply by returning mail on or before November 7, the offer would lapse. Unfortunately, Anita’s letter contained an error in the address and was not delivered to Dan until November 6 at 9 a.m. Dan replied immediately accepting the offer and posted a letter on November 6 at 12 noon.
On November 4, Cathy, knew about the negotiation, sent message via WhatsApp (i.e.: a popular online chat platform) to Anita to express the interest to buy her textbooks for HK$8,000. Anita having heard nothing from Dan then, telephoned Cathy on November 5 and offered the purchase price at HK$9,000. Cathy accepted.
Anita sent an email to Dan’s wife (Linda) on November 6 telling her that the offer of November 1 was withdrawn. This email was received on Linda’s computer at 11:00 a.m. on November 6, but was not opened and read by Linda until the next day.
