Maggie responded to an advertisement placed by Dr. Williams, a doctor, seeking a nurse. After an interview, Dr. Williams offered Maggie the job and said he would either: (1) pay her $150,000 per year; or (2) pay her $120,000 per year and agree to convey to her a parcel of land, worth about $50,000, if she would agree to work for him for three consecutive years. Maggie accepted the offer and said, "I'd like to go with the second option, but I would like a commitment for an additional three years after the first three." Dr. Williams said, "Good, I'd like you to start next week."

After Maggie started work, Dr. Williams handed her a letter he had signed which stated only that she had agreed to work as his nurse at a salary of $120,000 per year.

After Maggie had worked for two years and nine months, Dr. Williams decided that he would sell the parcel of land and not convey it to her. Even though he had always been satisfied with her work, he fired her.

What rights does Maggie have and what damages might she obtain as to employment and the parcel of land? Discuss.
