Re: Offer to Purchase

If the signature on the offer was faxed back, the answer is yes.

If the e-mail coming back with the offer reflects it as having come from the person making or accepting the offer, then the answer likewise is yes.

Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this in greater detail.

While you may be able to rely on them in the absence of the original, you should still insist on receiving the original hard copy signature which is the best evidence. Good Luck!
