You could pronounce your time written above as:

  "It's Thu 20Jun2024 at 20:51:19 here, where clocks are UTC+10:00"

if that's indeed your intention. But what you've done is invent
some notation of your own, which people will likely misunderstand.

I think it best to look up these references and follow them:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
  https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt

IMHO I think that email attributions are best presented in and with
the time zone of the sender, and not oneself.

Cheers,
David.
