The copy of the notice shall be addressed to the person whose interest so appears at the address provided in the document. If no address for the person is provided in the document, no notice need be mailed to the person. If the interest which appears on the records of the county clerk is a deed of trust, a copy of the notice need only be mailed to the beneficiary as provided in the deed of trust. If any person having such an interest, or the trustor, or any person who has recorded a request for notice wants to change the address to which notice shall be mailed, the change shall be accomplished by a request for notice as provided in this section.

C. The trustee or beneficiary shall, within five business days after the recordation of the notice of sale, mail by certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, a copy of any notice of sale showing the recording date the notice was recorded to each of the persons who were parties to the deed of trust. The notice shall be addressed to the mailing address specified in the deed of trust. In addition, notice to each such party shall contain a statement that a breach or default in performance of the deed of trust or the contract secured by the deed of trust, or both, has occurred and shall provide the nature of the breach or default in performance and of the election of the beneficiary to sell or cause to be sold the trust real estate as provided in the deed of trust and the additional notice shall be signed by the beneficiary or the agent of the beneficiary. A copy of the additional notice shall also be sent with the notice as provided in Paragraph (2) of Subsection B of this section to all junior encumbrancers together with a written statement that the interest of the junior encumbrancer may be subject to being terminated by the trustee's sale. The written statement may be provided in the statement of breach or default in performance.

D. No request for a copy of a notice recorded as provided in this section nor any statement or allegation in the request nor any record of the request shall affect the title to the trust real estate or be deemed notice to any person that a person requesting a copy of notice of sale has or claims any interest in, or claim upon, the trust real estate.
