Joan G. NICHOLS, Appellant, v. The MAY DEPARTMENT STORES COMPANY, d/b/a Lord & Taylor, a foreign corporation, Appellee.
No. 93-1117.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
March 2, 1994.
Charles Wender, Smith, Smith & Wender, P.A., Boca Raton, for appellant.
Mark B. Kleinfeld, Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appel-lee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We reverse a final order granting defendant's motion to enforce an oral settlement agreement.
It is clear from our examination of the record that the terms of a letter to be written by Appellee were an essential element of the settlement discussion. The record does not support a conclusion that Appellant's attorney agreed to the terms imposed.
GUNTHER and STONE, JJ., and RAMIREZ, JUAN, Jr., Associate Judge, concur.
. The attorney's authority to settle is not disputed.
