Job offer -accept or not accept

Hello forum,

What a nice place to be.

Please members,
I got the job offer below which expires this Thursday. All my references went through before this letter was emailed to me. The thing that I don't understand is that the letter does not say if the job offer is conditional or unconditional. This worries me as It stops me from resigning from my current job. I have emailed the company about 5 days ago but they have not comeback to me yet.
What do you think shall i do- signing it or wait until I get a rectified unconditional letter though this offer expires in 2 days?

Many thanks for your help.

Conditional or unconditional is pretty irrelevant - they can sack you for almost any reason within the next two years. So it is really a case of whether you want to work for them or not.
