Step 2: just fill out the information as specified Step 3: first, remove the infringing material on the URLs in question, then write out the statement as indicated. If you don't believe that the material was actually infringing someone else's copyright, you might claim that the takedown notice was in error, but be prepared for a legal fight. Step 4: sign the paper Step 5: mail it to the indicated address
