I'm looking forward to it,

Should I accept a job offer by email?
Email is a good way to accept because it puts the agreed terms in writing. Many people accept on a call and then send this email the same day.
Why list the terms in the acceptance email?
It confirms what you agreed, such as base salary, signing bonus and start date, so the updated offer letter matches.
When should I resign from my current job?
Many people wait until they have the signed offer letter and any background check is cleared. Check your own situation first.
