Mentioning travel dates in invite letter for UK visa

Mentioning travel dates in invite letter for UK visa - Bridge over River in City

I am applying for UK business visa and my employer sent me this invite letter.

I have two main concerns about this letter:

  1. They have written that my trip is tentative.
  2. It is mentioned that the company will be bearing my travel expenses

Is it alright to mention that my business trip is tentative? Will the granting officers think that I am uncertain about the trip and hence reject the visa?

In the application form I have mentioned that all the expenses will be borne by them (flight, hotel and per-diem). But from the invite letter, it looks like they are providing just the flight expenses.

We are pleased to invite Mr. X, Designation/employee of ABC Private Ltd. (Group Holding Company) to visit us in London for business meetings and discussions from ab/cd/efgh - ij/kl/mnop [a tentative trip]

His passport details are as follows:

Please note that, all travelling expenses will be borne by the company. We would greatly appreciate if Mr. X can be granted Two month's multiple entries visa.
