Question
Jackson Jewellers wrote to Miller, “We have received an exceptionally self-winding Rolox watch which we will sell to you at a very favourable price.”
A The letter is an offer to sell.
B A valid offer cannot be made by letter.
C The letter contains a valid offer which will terminate within a reasonable time.
D The letter lacks one of the essential elements of an offer.
Answer
D
Explanation:
An offer must be definite and certain, including specific terms like price. The letter lacks a specific price, making it an invitation to treat, not an offer (D). It is not an offer (A, C), and offers can be made by letter (B).
