Question: On May 1 , Universal Widget Systems orally agrees to manufacture and deliver 1 0 0 widgets to Justin at a price of $ 8

On May 1, Universal Widget Systems orally agrees to manufacture and deliver 100 widgets to Justin at a price of $87.50 per widget. Justin intended to use the widgets as component parts for a radio-controlled NASCAR car that transforms into a vampire robot that he wants to market for the Christmas season.
On May 20, the president of UWS sent an email to Justin stating:
I want to confirm your recent order of 100 widgets for delivery on July 10 at a price of $87.50 per widget.
Regards, President Preston Presley
On May 24, Justin discovered another supplier of widgets who charged only $75.00 per widget. He sent an email to UWS:
Thanks for your email, but my plans have changed. I no longer require the widgets we agreed on and am cancelling my order. I hope to do business with you in the future.
Signed, Justin
UWS wants to sue Justin for breach of contract. Is the agreement enforceable? Why or why not? Be specific - what laws apply? How?
