Just to clarify my understanding

[goodstudent]

I need to reply an email, it is just to confirm that I understand the other party correctly

Are the sentences below appropriate to start? If wrong, any better suggestions?
Just to clarify my understanding
Just to understand better
Just to make sure I understand correctly

Thanks

I don't think that you supplied us sentences.

I don't think that you supplied us sentences.

I mean starting/opening sentences for the email reply. Example:
Just to clarify my understanding. I will need to cook one chicken and send it the party by 2 pm.
Just to understand better. I will need to cook one chicken and send it the party by 2 pm.
Just to make sure I understand correctly. I will need to cook one chicken and send it the party by 2 pm.

Is it your understanding or the recipient's understanding that is in doubt?

I mean starting/opening sentences for the email reply. Example:
Good, but wordy: Just to clarify my understanding, I will need to cook one chicken and send it to the party by 2 pm, right?
Poor: Just to understand better, I will need to cook one chicken and send it to the party by 2 pm, right?
Best: Just to make sure I understand correctly, I will need to cook one chicken and send it to the party by 2 pm, right?

All those phrases are fine, but don't break sentences into two. You can use commas or colons there. I chose commas.

Be sure to use the to. Otherwise, you're giving the chicken a party!

I received some info in an email, I am in doubt of some info, so I am emailing back to make sure my understanding is correct about the email.
