Anxiousto continue the relationship, Jeff, the network president, sent an email to Rachel that stated i pertinent part: The network hereby offers to pay you $2.5 million to host 10 episodes of Rays of Rachel over the next six months. * * * You may accept this offer by return email indicating your consent or printingthis email and faxing it back to us. Please respond by the end of the day. Jeff ZisserPresident, MAB TelevisionLos Angeles, CA(o) (555) 555-1234(f) (555) 555-1235 Rachel read the email and immediately called Jeff. Rachel told Jeff that she would not do the shows for less than $3.5 million. She also said that she wanted her lawyer to review the contract before she signed. Jeff agreed to the pay increase and told Rachel that her lawyer could look at the contract as long as she decided to sign or not sign by the end of the day. He told her that if she agreed, she should print the email, handwrite the new salary figure in, initial the change, sign the contract, and fax it to him by the end of the day. Rachel immediately forwarded the email to her lawyer, who gave his approval. She then followed Jeff’s instructions. She printed the email, wrote in the new salary figure, initialed the change, and signed and dated the contract. She then put the signed agreement into an envelope addressedto Jeff and dropped the letter in the mail. Later that day, Rachel turned down a $2 million offer to do a cooking show for another network. The next day, since Jeff had not heard from Rachel, he assumed that the deal was off and called another chef—his good friend Paula, who was dean of a local cooking school. He offered to give her a prime time cooking show and to pay her $50,000 per episode. She quickly agreed. Two days later, Jeff received Rachel’s letter in the mail. He also saw an article on a television gossip website explaining how Rachel had just turned down a $2 million cooking show to work at MAB. Having gone to law school before becoming a television executive, Jeff became worried about his transactions with Rachel and contacted MAB’s legal department. He related to them all of the above facts, and asked whether the network has a contract with, or liability to, Rachel. How should the legal department advise him?
