Dear Attorney Korman,
At this time, I am writing to inform you that I will not be accepting your offer.
After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the pay you are offering would neither fulfill me nor support the lifestyle I am living in light of the work I would be doing for you. I have decided instead to work for myself, and reap 100% of the benefits that I sew.
Thank you for the interviews.
D----- L. A-----, Esq.

Given that you had two interviews, were offered and accepted the job (indeed, you had a definite start date), I am surprised that you chose an e-mail and a 9:30 PM voicemail message to convey this information to me. It smacks of immaturity and is quite unprofessional. Indeed, I did rely upon your acceptance by ordering stationery and business cards with your name, reformatting a computer and setting up both internal and external e-mails for you here at the office. While I do not quarrel with your reasoning, I am extremely disappointed in the way this played out. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
- Will Korman

A real lawyer would have put the contract into writing and not exercised any such reliance until he did so.
Again, thank you.

Thank you for the refresher course on contracts. This is not a bar exam question. You need to realize that this is a very small legal community, especially the criminal defense bar. Do you really want to start pissing off more experienced lawyers at this early stage of your career?

OH MY GOD!
Where to begin?
First of all, how unprofessional, and secondly, it is "reap what you 'sow,'" now "sew". If she is going to use a cliche, couldn't she at least spell it right? And WTF is with her "blab la bla"? Does she not read your e-mail about it being a small community?! So, finally, can I forward this along to some folks? I am sure they would love to see how the up-and-coming lawyers are comporting themselves! (Clearly she did not go to BU!!!)

You can e-mail this to whomever you want.
1Because I have no desire to embarass this young woman personally (and because I fear, from the tenor of her messages, that she may be a litigious type), I have redacted her name. I have left Mr. Korman's and Professor Breen's names, both for the sake of verisimilitude and because they appear to consent to the circulation of this correspondence. However, I have redacted their email addresses to avoid spam. I have reversed the order of the messages, so that the thread reads from top to bottom. The text is otherwise unedited.
