An offeree exercises the power of acceptance in order to trigger the offeror's obligation of performance with reference to the terms of the offer.

A letter of intent (LOI or LoI, or Letter of Intent) is a document outlining the understanding between two or more parties which they intend to formalize in a legally binding agreement. The concept is similar to a heads of agreement , term sheet or memorandum of understanding .
An interesting implication of the operation of the posting rule is that an acceptance is complete once the letter of acceptance is posted; it makes no difference whether the offeror actually receives the letter.
