Help!!! How do I make a multiple price option offer?

What's up awesome BP crew?  OK I finally found an inside deal.  I am an electrician and one of my customers just mentioned the family wants to sell the old family house which is held in the family trust.  How do I write an offer to give them 3 choices to pick from?  

Ex. 1. All Cash  2. Owner carry   3. ?       Etc.  

I have heard about doing this on the podcasts but have never seen the details. 

Does anyone have a letter I can copy?  Any advice?

@Roderick Martin I often start with a low price offer with terms that are more favorable to the seller. (e.g. all cash, quick close, 20% down, no inspection, etc.)

Then when they counter with a higher price, I raise my price to meet them half way, but I change the terms so they are more favorable to what I want. (maybe finance contingency, 45-60 day close, inspections, 5% down, seller pays closing costs, whatever...)

Of course you could always submit 3 written offers and say choose one. I just don't like showing my hand.

Let us know how it goes...
