This reads like a homework assignment. If so, I can't imagine that your teacher or prof. wanted you to answer it by asking a lawyer on the Web to do your work for you. If it is not a school assignment or homework, feel free to e-mail me.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
