Head Matter:
PFE ENTERPRISES, INC., Appellant, v. Leon G. NICHOLS, Individually and as Trustee et al., Appellees.
No. 75-1776.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
March 8, 1977.
Pettigrew, Arky, Freed, Stearns, Watson & Greer, Miami, for appellant.
Leon G. Nichols, Miami, for appellees.
Before HENDRY, C. J., NATHAN, J, and CHARLES CARROLL (Ret.), Associate Judge.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed.
NATHAN, Judge, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur with the majority in the dismissal with prejudice of Count II of appellant's complaint, but respectfully dissent as to Count I thereof.
The appellant's complaint arose out of an alleged breach by appellees (purchasers) of a contract for the purchase of real property from appellant (seller). Count I alleged fraud by the appellees. The trial court dismissed Count I, reasoning that appellant was limited by the contract to the agreed upon liquidated damages. I am of the opinion that Count I sets forth all the necessary elements of fraud to constitute an independent cause of action.
