Not to be trite but, "Politely." There really isn't a standardized way to write a counter offer. In some states, just crossing out terms and writing in your own on the offer can constitute a valid counteroffer (that route though, is NOT recommended, as it can lead to confusion.). Tell them that you find some element of the deal unacceptable, and that you would like to propose alternative terms that both sides will find favorable. The law doesn't impose strict rules on how parties come to agreement on offers and counteroffers, and will generally validate whatever the intentions of the parties are once they come to agreement on the deal. The best advice we can give you then is, make sure that your intentions are as clear as possible in the terms of the contract. If you need help drafting a counteroffer, you should hire an attorney who has experience with drafting contracts. Also: Be SURE that you are ready to reject the original offer. In many states, a counteroffer counts as an automatic rejection of the original offer.
