Please proofread your work before sending.
According to M-W, proofread means
to read and correct mistakes in (a written or printed piece of writing)
Ask the person to double-check and proofread the text before sending. But if this is your employer or client you are talking about, a gentle 'You need to hire a PA with good copy-editing skills' would do.
In formal writing, you may use the words accuracy, precision, cohesion, or completeness in whatever sentence you make. I suggest to formally write him/her, "Please ensure accuracy, precision, and cohesion of the contents before sending ...". In informal writing, your phrase would work or you may mix suggested words with your sentence. Better to use 'verify' instead of confirm.
Seeing as you mention problems with data, I would say that they should sanity check their work:
The act of checking that something does not contain elementary mistakes or impossibilities, or is not based on invalid assumptions
