Second that. Looks a little short and not detailed enough. Just my opinion, but if it was my reference letter I would ask
my employer to elaborate on the bullet points and make it more detailed.

Can you share here, what format did you sent?

 

[Applebite]

Thanks Everyone,

Employer prepares format and it could be different than other one, so better to live with whatever they gave
Sending two different letters will leads confusion.

Responsibilities in bullet or paragraph does not make any difference.
