Which one is correct?

Please be advised that on (Date), there will be a maintenance work at your office / Please be advised that there will be a maintenance work at your office on [date]

"Please be advised that on (Date), there will be a maintenance work at your office" "Please be advised that there will be a maintenance work at your office on [date]" Both are equally correct, and both equally reek of "officialese".
