Original Request Description

I just got a verbal offer for a Senior Customer Success Manager role at a healthcare SaaS company, and I want help writing a calm, professional salary negotiation email before the formal offer comes through. The recruiter said they should send the written offer next week, and the number they mentioned is a little lower than I was hoping for, so I want to ask whether the base salary can be moved up a bit, ideally without sounding demanding or making it awkward. Please write an email that feels human and slightly informal, not stiff or corporate, and keep it concise enough that I could actually send it as-is. A good answer should include a polished version of the email, 2-3 alternative subject lines, and one shorter backup version in case I want to be more direct. Please keep the tone appreciative, mention that I’m excited about the role, and give me language that leaves room for a counteroffer such as base salary or a sign-on bonus without burning the relationship.
