Need Advice: The Salary Listed in my Formal Offer Letter is $1.5K Higher Than the Verbal Agreement
Any advice on how best to proceed? Should I use their error as leverage to re-negotiate, blindly accept it and let them sort it out, or just be honest and have them revise to the originally agreed to amount?

Wow that’s quite a huge gap.. but honestly, just ask them if the amount stated is correct so that no further issue during the payout later 😊

Being upfront with HR is the way to go. Mistakes happen, and it's best to address them professionally.
