Which offer letter is valid?
My company had sent 3 offer letters, for example, on 17th July, 18th July, and 19th July. I signed the offer letter that was sent to me on 18th July. However, this offer letter contained errors, so my company sent me a revised offer letter on 19th July. I have not signed the revised offer letter. Can I consider the signed offer letter from 18th July as void or not applicable to me?

Dear Raman Ratnakar,
What is the wording of the third offer letter? Has it been written, "this offer letter supersedes all the offer letters issued in the past"? Please confirm.
Secondly, what is the verbatim of the second offer letter? Is there any binding clause to join the company?
Finally, why did the company have to issue the three offer letters?
Thanks,

Dear Raman,
If a company sends three offer letters in a sequential order to the same job applicant, the third offer letter automatically supersedes the earlier ones, whether it is explicitly mentioned or not. Of course, it is indicative of the indecisiveness of the employer regarding the terms and conditions offered previously.
Therefore, your acceptance of the second offer is also nullified by the subsequent fresh offer.
If you're willing, you can sign the third offer with an endorsement stating that your acceptance of the second offer is hereby cancelled.

Raman - there should not be a confusion in this case, it's pretty simple. The latest offer letter holds good - because the last two offer letters are automatically voided through offer management systems or even if it is manually issued.
It's commonly understood that the latest revision holds good.
Also, please send your acceptance to the latest offer letter and probably call your HR contact directly to clear the confusion.
Mostly, it is lack of communication between the offered candidate and HR Contact that provides a room for confusion like this. It is always a good idea to involve in a meaningful and regular dialogue until your onboarding process is complete - just to be on the same page and clear any questions.
