Section 138 proviso, clause (b) prescribe no form of notice and that requirement was only that notice should be in writing, that be given within 30 days of the receipt of information regarding return of cheque unpaid and a demand for payment of the amount of the cheque be made in the notice.

If you have mentioned in your notice that the cheque has been presented for clearance and it was returned unpaid and demand for payment of the amount covered under the subject cheque within 15 days from the date of service of notice, it is sufficient.
