Time between verbal offer and letter

Hey guys,

I got a call on Monday from a solid MM giving me an IBD SA offer. The guy mentioned pay and background check details and said I'd receive an offer letter sometime this week. It's Friday now and I was getting a little paranoid so I emailed him a quick note asking when I could expect to sign something.

I have another verbal offer for a F500 corp dev position too, and been waiting for that letter for a week since they said I'd receive one. Sent an email to my point yesterday, but haven't heard back.

I know there's no normal or standard time, but how long do you guys think I should I wait until following up again?

Thanks
