German term (edited):
als einen Partner vorzustellen
introduce ourselves as a potential partner
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.)

: Yes. And it definitely has to be "vorstellen" and the "einen" should be removed.

Thank you, Lilly. You are perfectly right about the necessary corrections of the German original - the way my brain functions, I tend to overlook such mistakes because I "know" what is meant.
