Trevor Jones accepted a summer internship with Hailey & Thomas, a management consulting firm. The negotiations and offer were all oral. Hailey & Thomas' managing partner did send a letter with the following language: Welcome to Hailey & Thomas. We are
looking forward to working with you. When you arrive in New York, please call me so that we may help you locate lodging for the summer. Discuss whether Trevor has a contract and if he has sufficient proof of its existence. Also discuss whether the agreement needed to be in writing.
The agreement did not need to be in writing since it was a contract for less than one year. Even if the contract did need to be in writing, Trevor probably has sufficient evidence with the letter from the managing partner.
