A: It's not entirely clear, but it seems that your landlord has not yet involved the court system, and this is just a letter from them demanding you move. As long as you haven't had several summary ejectments already (based on non-payment of rent), and "redeemed" them by paying your overdue rent, then you should go ahead and pay by certified mail or some other traceable method. The other possibility is your landlord is claiming you breached the lease for some reason other than non-payment. Without more facts, it is impossible to give you a comprehensive answer.
