Yes, it is correct. " due to" is the same meaning with " because of" and " owing to"

You can, but it's very vague. If I received a letter saying "Due to some reasons, we cannot pay you your salary this month" (for example!), I would not be very happy.

It would be better worded:

Due to the lack of money in our bank, we can't pay you.
Due to a problem with the electronic transfer system, we can't pay you.
Due to various unforeseen problems, we can't pay you.

With your original sentence, the problem is not with "Due to", it's with "some"!

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Hello, Simon.

(1) It is true that nowadays, most people often use "due to" and "because

of" interchangeably as prepositions.

(2) I was taught, however, that if you wish to be 100% "correct," you

should use "due" as an adjective.

(3) I arrived late because of/due to car troubles.

(a) I think most native speakers (and test graders) would accept either

answer nowadays.

(4) But to use "due" as an adjective (which a few people still do), you

need a longer and more difficult sentence such as:

My late arrival was DUE (adjective) to car troubles (prepositional

phrase modifying the adjective "due.")

***** Thank you *****

Since here, 'reason' means cause, you cannot say 'due to some reasons' because 'due to' already has the sense of cause - it would be like saying 'for reasons of some reasons'. However, you can say:

'due to [state the reason]' eg 'due to the bad weather, the game was cancelled'
