I Look forward to + gerund

Hi,

I am applying for jobs, and I am a bit confused about which of the sentences are grammatically correct:

1a) I look forward to an interview opportunity with you.
1b) I look forward to an interviewing opportunity with you.

2a) I look forward TO an opportunity to further discuss my suitability for the position.
2b) I look forward TO an opportunity to further discussING my suitability for the position.
2c) I look forward FOR an opportunity to further discuss my suitability for the position.
2d) I look forward FOR an opportunity to further discussING my suitability for the position.

Please tell me which one is correct.

Also what is the difference between "I am looking forward to..." and "I look forward to..."?

Thanks in advance.
Mika

Hi Pter and Avangi, Thanks for your reply. It answers my question perfectly. Grammar is not my strong front, and I am more used to the spoken type of English.
