Dear So and So

[emily_in_nc]

Thanks so much, emily!

I'm going stir crazy here because while I got the verbal offer over the phone, I haven't gotten the formal offer in writing yet. My references need to clear first. So I won't put in my notice until I've gotten my formal offer, and the delay is driving me nuts. HR red tape at its finest!

Been there and totally understand! Just trust that it will all work out.

It will...this is a meant to be kinda thing.
