Before EMAS, GORDO and BOKOR, JJ.

     PER CURIAM.
      Affirmed. See All Fla. Sur. Co. v. Coker, 88 So. 2d 508, 511 (Fla. 1956)

(“If a person [who signs his name to an instrument] cannot read the

instrument, it is as much his duty to procure some reliable person to read

and explain it to him, before he signs it, as it would be to read it before he

signed it if he were able to do so, and his failure to obtain a reading and

explanation of it is such gross negligence as will estop him [from denying its

contents.]” (quoting 12 Am. Jur. Contracts § 137)).
