The employment letter must be signed by the employer and employee. Article 1 of the Ministerial Decree No. (764) of 2015 states: “The employment contract specimen is henceforth adopted for use as a standard employment contract. Tentative approval to admit a foreign employee for the purpose of employment in the UAE cannot be granted until an employment offer that conforms with the standard employment contract is presented to and duly signed by the employee.”
