Worried that the letter may be delayed in the post and that he didn't address it correctly, Mr. Sandy subsequently sends a telex accepting the offer at 9.00 a.m. on Tuesday morning, June 6th. Mr. Joe is late arriving at work that day and fails to notice the telex. During the day he receives another offer of 60,000 Euros for the car from Mr. Sober.
