Hi, I need help. Please review the following sentence for me. Thank you! In business email, is it OK to say ' I would be grateful for the opportunity to have a cooperation with you' ? I wanna use this expression because I saw sentences like ' I would be grateful for an opportunity to work! ' and ' I would be grateful to have the opportunity to have an interview with you. ' before.

Correct: I would be grateful for the oppurtunity to do business with you.
Correct: I would be grateful for the chance to do business with you.

"I would be grateful for the opportunity to cooperate with you." "Cooperation", as a noun, is uncountable. It's better in this case to use the verb.
Also, please stop using "wanna". It's simply poor English. There's no reason to present yourself as a poor English speaker.

"It would be grateful for me to take the opportunity to have a cooperation with you."
I think this correction will make your statement more presentable, but you may ask also for a help to other people out here for second opinion. thank you!

I use Longman Dictionary to improve my vocabulary.
In longman, for 'wanna' it says as below,
wanna
wan·na /ˈwɔnə US ˈwɑː-/
a short form of 'want to' or 'want a', used in writing to show how people sound when they speak
I did not realize that wanna is sign of poor English before you told me. Thank you for your advice!
