Can emailed statements of promise to pay money borrowed that were originally verbal, but now are being reneged, be considered legal and binding?

It's good evidence, but certain types of debts have to have the signature of the person owing the money or the debt isn't collectible. Do a google search for something like "Florida statute of frauds" and you'll see what I mean, or, better yet, speak to a lawyer and describe the exact nature of the promise to pay.
