Adele sees the advertisement and emails Dua on Monday at 10am offering to buy the records for 2,000. However, Dua sends an email in return to Adele stting she will only sell the records for 2,500 as a minimum. On Tuesday at 9am, following a change of mind, Dua sends an email to Adele from New York revoking the offer; however, Adele's internet is not working and she does not receive the message until Tuesday at 10.30am. On Tuesday at 11am, Adele posted a letter to Dua for her acceptance of the offer. Dua never received the letter of acceptance and as such at 6pm on Wednesday Dua sold the collection to Elton.
