The original Statute of Frauds requires certain types of contracts to be in writing to be enforceable. Among the types listed, an agreement for the sale of real property, such as a building lot, must be in writing according to the Statute of Frauds. Contracts for the sale of personal property, like farm animals or cars, or short-term leases, do not generally require a written agreement under the original Statute of Frauds unless they meet specific criteria not mentioned in the options provided. Similarly, an agreement by a creditor to accept a lesser amount in satisfaction of a debt does not fall under the original requirements for written contracts in the Statute of Frauds.
