James Anderson was fired by Strong Associates, the company where he had been employed for the past 10 years. He received a letter from Strong who offered to pay Anderson twice the amount of severance pay in exchange for Anderson signing a document releasing Strong Associates from any claims related to his firing. The letter contained the release that Strong wanted Anderson to sign and return; along with a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope. Anderson signed the release, sealed it in the enclosed envelope, and took it to the mailbox outside of his local post office. When Anderson returned from the post office, he checked his mailbox and found another envelope from Strong Associates. This envelope contained the check for the doubled severance pay. Anderson went back to the post office and convinced an employee to open the mailbox so that he could retrieve the signed release. He then took the check to his bank and cashed it. With the money in the bank and the release in his hand, Anderson filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination against Strong Associates.
