(1) be officially published one time;
(2) describe the information required to be contained in a claim, state that the claim must be in writing and provide a mailing address to which the claim is to be sent;
(3) state that a claim against the partnership is barred unless an action to enforce the claim is commenced within two years after publication of the notice; and
(4) unless the partnership has been throughout its existence a limited liability limited partnership, state that the barring of a claim against the partnership will also bar any corresponding claim against any general partner or person dissociated as a general partner which is based on section 8644 (relating to general partner's liability).
