(i)This problem is based on communication of acceptance.
- As a general rule, the mode of effecting acceptance is immaterial so long as the offeror receives the same.
- In this case it appears that there is a contract between Arnold and Ben as Ben writes to Arnold accepting the offer, provided the letter was actually received by Arnold.
(ii) In the second instance, there is a contract between Ben and Arnold as Ben communicated acceptance by telex and to the extent that Arnold received the same, there is a valid contract between the two.
