"That is how I will say it" is fine. "That is what I will say" is also correct (without the "it"), but it means something different.

English, unlike some other languages has verbs that absolutely require a direct object after the verb. "Say" is one of them. So, in your first example above, you need the "it" to make it grammatical. In the second one, however, the "what" serves as the direct object of "say" (in addition to functioning as the relative pronoun), so you can't put the word "it" in.

Number one is correct: That is how I will say it. But shouldn't you do your own homework?

BOTH . THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS .
THEY TRANSLATE AS :
ONE . THIS IS THE MANNER IN WHICH I WILL SAY IT .
TWO . THIS IS WHAT THE CONTEXT WILL BE . ( THESE ARE THE WORDS I WILL USE ) .
HOPE THIS HELPS .
