I think more context is needed for a good answer. What kind of error? What are the consequences of the error? etc.

Ask to confirm the information without suggesting it could be an error

This is way too broad a topic for Q&A. A smaller scope would be required ("how do I communicate errors when [I'm new][I'm an outside consultant][...]". Note that "how do I tell person X from company Y about Z is usually also off-topic as too specific.

Email back asking for clarification on what you believe to be erroneous is the best way. It gives them time to change it or explain it, without any embarrassment.

I would add that if they sent this to many people, I prefer to help them save face by replying only to them and not to the group.
