When providing the written notice acknowledgments and written notice of any loss mitigation options we might offer them, are these allowable through electronic means (ex. email)?

While Section 1024.41 does not address electronic delivery, section 1024.32(a)(1) states that electronic disclosures may generally be used, as long as you follow E-Sign:

(a) Disclosure requirements. (1) Form of disclosures. Except as otherwise provided in this subpart, disclosures required under this subpart must be clear and conspicuous, in writing, and in a form that a recipient may keep. The disclosures required by this subpart may be provided in electronic form, subject to compliance with the consumer consent and other applicable provisions of the E-Sign Act, as set forth in § 1024.3. A servicer may use commonly accepted or readily understandable abbreviations in complying with the disclosure requirements of this subpart.
