Irrespective of whether the contents of your letter are read or not, the legal obligation on your part has been fulfilled. Postman's remarks about refusal to accept your registered letters by your client makes your case strong as that itself proves his intention to willfully violate the agreement.

Make sure that you do not open the sealed envelopes. The sealed envelopes must be submitted in court along with your case. The envelopes can be opened in the open court so that the contents are brought on record in the court.

Your liability to send the notice is complete but the addressee cannot be presumed have read the contents. You should confine only up to your role.
