can I omit "to" and "that"?

Can I omit 'to' and 'that' in this sentence?

We would to confirm with you that ...........

The 'to' is definitely wrong, and your sentence has other problems. It should read: We wish/want to confirm (with you) that the train leaves at 7:03. In this sentence, 'that' could possibly be omitted, but the sentence suffers in lost clarity.

i guess you can just simply say: we would like to confirm you that...

No, you cannot say "We would like to confirm you..."

You must have a "with."

"We would like to confirm with you that..."

Or simply "We would like to confirm that..."
