Is Arkansas Notice to Owner and Contractor valid if notice language has very small language mistake?

ArkansasPreliminary NoticeRight to Lien

We sent a lien notice on an Arkansas project. The notice was correctly sent to everyone required to receive it, and the notice itself was correctly prepared...except for this one small mistake. Arkansas preliminary notice laws require that all notices contain the "NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER" text provided in the law. This text was included in our notice. However, the notice contained a single, small mistake. The notice in the law requires the paragraph to say: "IF BILLS FOR LABOR, SERVICES, OR MATERIALS USED TO CONSTRUCT OR PROVIDE SERVICES FOR AN IMPROVEMENT TO REAL ESTATE ARE NOT PAID IN FULL..." Our notice provided the entire paragraph correctly, except, in this first sentence, the words "OR PROVIDE SERVICES FOR" were inadvertently omitted. Does this void the entire notice? Or is this notice still likely effective?
