Steve met Diana at the local gym and they started talking about how Diana needed her

house painted. Steve told Diana that he would paint her whole house for $5,000 and
that he would keep the offer open for seven days. Later that night, Steve even sent
Diana an email detailing the terms of the offer. Two days later, Steve sent Diana an
email around 2:25 p.m., stating that the original offer was revoked. Around 1:55 p.m.
that same day, Diana wrote Steve a letter, stating that she accepted his offer for the
house painting. As soon as Diana was able, she went to Post Office and sent Steve the
letter by certified mail (time stamped by the Postal Service at 2:27 p.m.). That night
around 5:45 p.m., Diana was reviewing her emails and saw Steve's earlier email
informing her about the revocation of the offer. She immediately called him to tell him
that she had wrote him a letter of acceptance. Was the offer revoked by Steve and why
or why not?

Answer:

Was the offer revoked by Steve and why

or why not?

No

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not the best with contracts so no guarnatee but there was a clear offer, acceptance, consideration, making this a contract. Unless in the terms of the contract it stated that there could be a cancellation at any time, Steve is obligated to follow through.
