Employee Refrence Letter

Hi All, I picked the employer refrence letter format from this site, but there has been a mistake which I just noticed. My letter states my salary, my joining date, my work permit details, SOC code.
They also mentioned my absence from UK which was only 2 days in last five year work related, but they wrongly mentioned as 15 June 2010 but actual date was 15 June 2011.

So I think this letter will not work now, as absence date is not correct.

I have got another letter from employer stating my salary and that I am still required by my company but no SOC code. Here is a snippet of the letter:

I would like to confirm that <emp-name> is employed with <companyname> as a <designation>.
His employement commenced on date xxxx.xx.xx. His annual gross salary is xxxxxxx and he is still required by <companyname> in his current role.

Do you think this will work ? if not, can I postpone my date on Monday morning ? I have an appointment for Monday 11:00

Just to add one more point,

The current letter salary only states my basic salary but I normally receive other allowance like overtime, do you think employer should state my allowances ?

or only basic salary will work, my salary slip does state the basic salary but it also has other components paid to me.

This is my letter where dates went wrong:

This is to state that [Applicant name] is presently employed with [company name] since xxxxxxx and presently holds the job title of [applicants job title]

His current salary is xxxxxxx, in addition to it he also receives shift allowance which is xxxx and overtime, which is a variable component as per company needs.

His absence from UK which was 15th June 2010 and 16th June 2010 was business related to xxxxxxxxx.

[Applicants name]'s service as an employee are still required and he will continue to remain employed with [company name] in foreseeable future.

Year 2010 is a typo, can I still show them this letter atleast to cover the salary part ? absence was for only 2 days for which I have all the letters like hotel reservation/employer lettter at that time when I was going away bcoz I applied for the visa

HI Experts, please advice..

Will the employer letter with basic salary will work ? or they should mention each and every component of salary what I get in payslip in this letter ?

Also no SOC code, I have employer letter which only states my basic salary and I am still required by them in current role.
