Justin is а supplier оf оrgаnic lychees аnd has been wоrking to secure a contract with Randle to supply his well-known organic lychees for Randle’s premium boba-tea business. Justin was excited because the deal, if finalized, would likely take his small lychee business to the next level. Charles, Justin’s neighbor and rival lychee orchard owner, felt threatened by what a deal between Justin and Randle could mean for his own business. One morning, while sipping his extra-bitter coffee, Charles hatched a plan to improve his orchard’s competitive position. Posing as Justin’s assistant, Charles sent Randle a letter claiming that Justin used chemical pesticides on his lychees to ensure an adequate supply for wholesale and retail. The claim was false. Randle, concerned that customers might learn that his premium lychee boba teas contained lychees treated with chemical pesticides, immediately stopped all communications with Justin. Upon discovering Charles’s actions and realizing that his anticipated business relationship with Randle had fallen through, Justin decides to take legal action. What is the most appropriate claim Justin could assert against Charles?
