dolution

Goose owed Jeris a debt of $1,200, which was long overdue. Samar, a friend of Goose, wrote as follows to Jeris: “I know how badly you need the money and that you’ve waited for it a long time. But give yourself no concern. I am writing to promise that I’ll pay Goose’s debt to you within the year if he doesnt. Heaven knows you’re entitled to it.” Jeris was much pleased by the receipt of this letter. Bearing in mind, for one year he patiently bided his time and took no action whatever to collect the debt from Goose. At the end of this period the debt remained unpaid. Goose and Samar both refused to pay. Under the facts presented, does Jeris have a case against Samar? Explain fully.
