Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statute of frauds requires that certain contracts must be in writing and signed by the party to be charged. While it is customary to sign a written contract, it is not required as long as the contract itself is in writing and contains the essential terms of the agreement. In this scenario, Clara has typed and set forth the terms of their contract in writing within the letter. Therefore, David may use the letter to satisfy the writing requirement, even though Clara did not sign her name at the end.
