Years: Year + "年" (year)
Months: From January to December (Japanese numerals to express months):
１月、２月、３月、４月、５月、６月、７月、８月、９月、10月、11月、12月
Days: Number of day + "日" (day)
January 15th, 2016 → 2016年１月15日
(5): It's optional, but more polite with this sentence. Actually, it's a convenient expression often used at the end of message, roughly meaning "Please give it sufficient consideration, attention or care".
