Based on the given scenario, it can be concluded that a legally binding contract was concluded between X and Y.

This is because, before the agreed date of 20th August, X withdrew her acceptance and sent it by post and also made a call to Y which informed him of her current stance.

<h3>What is a Contract?</h3>

This refers to the legally binding agreement that exists between two or more people about the terms of something.

Hence, we can see that based on the given scenario, it can be concluded that a legally binding contract was concluded between X and Y.

Notwithstanding the arrival of the postal letter of acceptance, this is considered void as there has been a change of terms that have been clearly communicated to the other party.
