A quick definition of counterletter:

A counterletter is a document used in civil law where parties to a simulated contract record their true intentions. It is used to acknowledge the actual ownership of a property and can be used when the property is to be reconveyed after a period. However, it has no effect against a third party acting in good faith. A contract, on the other hand, is an agreement between two or more parties that creates obligations that are enforceable or recognizable at law. It can refer to the series of operative acts by the parties, the physical document executed by the parties, or the legal relations resulting from the operative acts. It is important to note that the term "contract" is also used to refer to a document in which the terms of a contract are written, but this is not the same as the legal concept of a contract.

A more thorough explanation:

A counterletter is a legal document used in civil law where the parties involved in a simulated contract record their true intentions. It is used to acknowledge the actual ownership of a property or to clarify the true intentions of the parties involved in a contract. However, a counterletter has no effect against a third party acting in good faith.

For instance, if the record owner of a real property acknowledges in a counterletter that another person actually owns the property, the counterletter may be used when the property is to be reconveyed after a period. This means that the true owner of the property can reclaim it after the agreed period, even if the record owner has sold it to a third party.

Another example is when two parties enter into a contract, but they have different intentions. They can use a counterletter to clarify their true intentions and avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

These examples illustrate how a counterletter can be used to record the true intentions of the parties involved in a contract or property ownership. It is a legal document that helps to prevent fraud and misunderstandings in the future.
