Mira emailed the above statement to Kiki and asked Kiki to share it to her group of friends. Kiki telephoned Mira at about 3.00 pm on 8 July 2022 and informed her that she wants to buy the car. Kiki wants to inspect the car, but Mira is a bit reluctant to allow her to do that. On 10 July 2022 at about 6.00 pm, Amar, a common friend to both of them, telephoned Mira. He said that he had heard the news about Mira's intention to sell her car, and further told Mira that he is willing to pay her RM91,500.00 for it. Mira told Amar to come over to settle the deposit payment and said "the car is yours!"
A. Kiki claimed that a contract has been concluded between her and Mira, as she had telephoned Mira and informed her that she wanted to buy the car. Was there such contract concluded between them?
B. As between Mira and Amar, who was making the "offer" and who was "accepting" the offer? Was there a contract concluded between them.
C. A contract could have been entered into between Mira and Kiki, or between Mira and Amar. Whether the party who has failed to secure the contract can take any legal action under the contract law against Mira.
D. State your opinion on the legal status of the statement which Mira had emailed to Kiki.
