Whether you're signing contracts, applying for visas, or filing government forms, stick to the Month-Day-Year or Day-Month-Year order depending on your country's preference. However, you should write in full and avoid abbreviating the day/month or using numbers only. Examples: December 12, 2022 ✅
(The United States-based convention for formatting a date places the month before the day. For example: June 11, 2001. ) Write out the month, day and year two inches from the top of the page.

A signed offer letter can be legally binding to an extent, but it depends on the content and how it's presented. If it clearly outlines the key terms of employment, it may create a binding agreement. However, it's generally not as binding as a formal employment contract.
Unless you're signing a contract of employment or are being given some kind of sign on bonus that needs to be repaid, there is nothing to stop you from accepting a job offer and then backing out.
In summary, while a job offer is a positive indication that you have been chosen for a role, it is not an absolute guarantee of employment until all conditions are met and you formally accept the offer.
