I agree with ezrhuthm and Extramural in regards to jurisdiction. In my opinion having retained an attorney in the beginning gave the court-jurisdiction as he/she is an officer of the court. But, the language, “without prejudice,” above your signature would be inadmissible as evidence.
“It may however, be considered settled that letters or admissions containing the expression in substance that they are to be ‘without prejudice’ will not be admitted in evidence ... an arrangement stating the letter was without prejudice was held to be inadmissible as evidence ... not only will the letter bearing the words, ‘without prejudice’ but also the answer thereto, which was not so guarded, was inadmissible." Ferry v. Taylor, 33 Mo. 323; Durgin v. Somers, 117 Mass 55, Molyneaux v. Collier, 13 Ga. 406. When correspondence had commenced ‘without prejudice’ but afterwards those words were dropped, it was immaterial, 6 Ont. 719.”
Also, in my opinion, no need to write UCC 1-308 after “without prejudice” as it would be redundant.
