(1) specifies each delinquent amount and the total amount of the payment required to make the account current;
(2) if the association is subject to Section 209.0062 or the association's dedicatory instruments contain a requirement to offer a payment plan, describes the options the owner has to avoid having the account turned over to a collection agent, including information regarding availability of a payment plan through the association; and
(3) provides a period of at least 45 days for the owner to cure the delinquency before further collection action is taken.
