I have to write one of the following phrases into a formal correspondence (job application) in order to ask a confirmation:
Could you please confirm that I will be able to start working on that date ?
Could you please confirm that I will be able to join the company on that date ?
Which sounds more natural/appropriate in that context ?
This is the context :
I would therefore assure you that I accept the terms and I am willing to start on 10 th of June. I just wanted to be sure that I understood it correctly, before booking the flight. Could you please…..

Both sentences are correct but the underlying message is like you are asking them a confirmation from you if you are okay to start on that date, not a confirmation from the management. It will be redundant since you already have confirmed that you are willing to start on that date.
I think you should reconstruct your message to something like asking for a confirmation if the said date (June 10) is the final date of your first day so you can book your flight.
