I think you got the correct format. My code is 2175 and I have the letter with same sequence.

Make sure its on company's letterhead and includes the contact details. CIC officer can ask the job details personally if he/she wants.

You can make sure the requirements on checklist (IMM5610E).

Hi There I applied for PR using NOC 2174.
I am afraid you had to write some or all of the duties ...as the NOC condition is
"Computer programmers perform some or all of the following duties"

in your case you have just written
"His main responsibilities and duties are programming and maintenance for our myArcSSET/myHisTREE/
myEquipDATA web applications (using ASP.NET/C#/HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT/) as well as the backend
database (using SQL)."

which is somewhat similar to the NOC description :
1)Write, modify, integrate and test software code
2)Maintain existing computer programs by making modifications as required

I think you should have explained more about your duties and responsibilities. Rest it depends on the Visa Officer.
But if I were you , i would send another letter with the File number on it with all the information required as well as more description of the duties
Thanks

Thank you and do you think I should send now since I got my file number or wait for the VO to contact if he/she ever need a better ref letter. And I am just a little afraid that sending now might causing a bit of suspicious on my original ref letter. Not sure what to do. ???

I am sure the main cause of rejection is Job Letter. It Should have all or most of the duties. CIC have some criteria against which they are checking your job duties.I know three of my friends got rejected because of they didn't have appropriate Job Duties.
Its Always Safe to send the Job letter again with your File Number. Better Late than Sorry.

Also when they are sending you the file number , they just only check your documents against the document list at that moment. This is when you receive the File number. The processing is a next step after that.
Let me know if you need any more help.
Thanks
