No problems with this. Everyone has personal preferences of course but what you have written is acceptable

The way I'd write it.

looks like AmE
1. abbreviations in modern BrE are written without full stops.
2. dates are written differently in Britain and America, since British people people put the dates first while Americans generally start with the month.

if you look carefully you will find that americans write month first ... and use full stops (periods) even after mr and kg ...

conejo
: I agree with Can Altinbay... it doesn't sound like AmE to me either. But yes, 1 Oct for British, Oct. 1 for AmE
