Termination Contracts MixUp

Since my employment day 1 was within 90 days, but I signed my contract more than 90 days ago, they made a mix up.

It's a lot more if I sign the several week severance notice, but if I sign it, is that binding? Or could they just not sign it? Or does that stance jeopardize me getting ANY severance? I live in an at-will employment state, so they don't have anything keeping them from doing it.

Any advice here?

TL;DR was communicated that I'd get 2 week severance, email document has several, and received a follow up with new termination agreement that has the stated 2. Can I do anything to get the larger amount?
