Which of these seems most appropriate for a legal letter/document?
Version 1
In and about the Parties entered into a settlement the essential terms of which were that I was to become current on all past due rent in the sum total of $5,047. Said sum was due and payable in certified funds and to be hand delivered to your office in care of your client by 5:00 p.m. on July 5, 2019. Said condition was a prerequisite for allowing me to continue my tenancy and remain in possession of the premises. That payment was made on time, thereby satisfying a condition precedent.
Version 2
The said parties, further stipulated as follows, “Defendants tenancy shall be reinstated if the following conditions are met: (1) Defendant shall deliver $5,047.00 made payable to (name) in certified funds personally delivered to (address) before 5:00PM by July 5, 2019.” Said condition was a prerequisite for allowing continued tenancy and remaining in possession of the premises. The specific instructions, by said method along with payment were precisely implemented and made on time, effectively satisfying a condition precedent.
Version 3

. Said condition was a prerequisite for allowing the tenancy to continue and remain in possession of the premises. That payment was made on time, thereby satisfying a condition precedent.

Ouch. Not well written at all. Example: "... allowing the tenancy to continue and remain in possession of the premises." Ouch. Tenants, not tenancies, possess. Think about it.
