Read it closely before signing, because it, not a verbal promise, is what binds. Check that the title, basic salary, allowances, notice period, and any bonus match what you agreed, since the employment contract and work permit are built from this document. If something discussed is missing, get it added now, not later, because terms are hard to change once signed. How to weigh what an offer really contains: Gulf salary package guide.
Offer Letter
An offer letter is the formal document setting out your job title, salary, benefits, and start date, which both sides sign before employment begins. In the UAE a MOHRE-format offer letter is the legal anchor for the whole process, issued in Arabic and English, and the later contract must match what it says.
