Dear All,
I had a appointment offer which is neither in LETTER HEAD nor in SCANNED with authorized sign with all details typed in the mail itself. Please suggest me that based on this may I resign from present organization.
Thanks for your support,

Dear Mr. R. Srini,
Before I imply on this, a couple of questions to you --
- Does the email has a domain name (not the regular yahoo/gmail/rediffmail etc) of your company?
- Was the email from the respected HR department?
- An email always does have signature, who's signature was mentioned in it?
- [All the details typed in mail] -- Does the email hem-in contents like your joining date, notice period etc.?
- Have you replied with an acceptance to the email before joining?
- After joining the Organization, why haven't you asked for an appointment letter to the HR or your concerned Manager?
You have to entail with the above details for our forum members/ Seniors to understand the core of this to riposte accordingly. Thanks!

Dear Madam
Thanks for your response. The mail has got all the details as you have mentioned and replied with expected DOJ. The mail is from the VP(Operations) whom I have to report and not from HR department.
I am yet to join there. I am in dilemma about joining there and request you to kindly clarify.
Thanks and Regards
R.Srini.

Just call and ask the VP if it is possible to get a hard copy of the offer letter.
Tell him that your existing company is asking for the same to decide the release date.
If he is genuine, he will send it over.
But again, if you ask in a wrong manner, he will get offended and put your new job in danger. So be careful

I asked him in the same fashion as you said and he told me while he is joining he was given hard copy after 1month. He told me he will his HR person to contact me(still no calls) and finally he said if you believe me you join here else leave it.
I am now in vain and I can't conclude Please help me out.
Thanks and Regards,

It's a risk level that you alone are qualified to assess.
If you are not sure, it's better not to leave an existing job to join another.
Sometimes, small companies do not bother with documentation and companies. They just work. At times people find wonderful and rewarding careers in such companies. But then you need to find out by taking a risk.
I do not see any problem in giving someone an offer letter or even an appointment letter. But then there are all kinds of people. Some actually think its risky to give it. Some believe you will use it to negotiate higher salary in existing job.

Again, there are 4 threads in this forum in the last month about people who have offer letters, resigned from their jobs and then the new company suddenly cancelled their appointment. They don't know what to do. So, again, the fact that you do not have an appointment letter would not weigh adversely with these cases
From India, Mumbai
Thanks a lot for your valuable reply.
As you have said having belief on him I mailed him saying I quited the present one just for his reply but no reaction from his end.
After consultation with you I can conude that it is better to be in the present job and resignation can be done if and only if the hard copy comes.
Request to confirm sir.
Thanks and Regards,
