KenOldfield: 7:58am Jan 29, 2007: I confirm it is 'vorzustellen' though 'vorstellen' seems more appropriate.
Sybille: 8:13am Jan 29, 2007: It really must be "vorstellen" in the German text. You may point it out to the customer.
xxxFrancis Lee: 9:09am Jan 29, 2007: And wouldn't it normally be just "als Partner"?

| als einen Partner vorzustellen introduce ourselves as a potential partner
Explanation:
I don't know the remainder of the letter, so I am a bit hesitant how closely you have to stick to the original.
Maybe you can rephrase freely:
Please consider us as a potential partner
We would be glad if you would consider us as a future partner

I agree with all suggestions regarding the correction of the original:
"Gern würden wir Ihnen unsere Firma als Partner vorstellen." would be correct German.
Preferably the word "stellen" should not be used in the following sentence (Such repetions are not well liked in German.)
