IHTM36334 - Letters of offer: using precise terms
The letter of offer is intended to form the basis for a legally binding contract withterms that cannot subsequently be disputed. It should not, for example, contain
- any unacceptable terms such as 鈥業 reserve the right to reopen this offer if 鈥︹€︹€�.鈥�
- any uncertain terms such as 鈥業 shall pay the sum of 拢x as soon as I can鈥�
- any conditional terms such as 鈥榠f I can sell my house for 拢y鈥�.
It can be misleading to refer to duties as being unpaid if they are wholly covered bypayments on account. Such duties can be described as 鈥� 鈥� which wereunpaid鈥︹€�.
