Duties match exactly as stated in NOC

Hello all,
This may seems silly but I want to ask your opinion about it. I am a CEC inland applicant(NOC 6211 and NOC 0621). My job duties match exactly as they are stated on NOC list website. My manger gave me a rough draft of the letter for my PR application and he used more or less(90%) same wordings for describing my duties on my letter. Should I tell him to change them a little ? Would it be a problem or raise any unnecessary suspicions with the VO? I have other documents like pay stubs and T4 to back up my job. What should I do?
 
My honest opinion is that if you input too much of what is in the NOC you will leave room for suspicion. If you put too little you will leave room for suspicion. Also don't copy the NOC word for word. That will also raise suspicion. I would say a reasonable amount of the NOC (75-90%) is what they are looking for.

Use the pay stubs, job offer letter and job ad (if you have it) to re-inforce what the letter is saying.
 
Thanks JoacRy for the response. I am indeed doing all the duties mentioned on NOC on my job. Should I tell my manager to change the wording or to add/delete some of the minor stuff?
 
@RegularGuy, yes I would do this because you have to remember an exact copy of the NOC and every single duty will raise questions in the mind of the VO. I may be wrong but sometimes I think they make it like this to catch the 'robots' (pardon the partial cliche) who copy 'word for word' and do not have their reference letter written to reflect the realistic employment duties in the business. I suggest you ask your manager to change it.
