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.
Dianna L. Abdala, Esq.

Dianna -
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 stationary 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 clich?,
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!!!) J

Read from the bottom to the top.there was an
intervening exchange of voice mails as
well.as you can imagine, they were as
unprofessional as her e-mails.
from there the email was sent to almost every
attorney in boston and eventually it got all
the way to me. so learn from diana. don't be
a dick.
