May I have a better substitute for the word interchange?

(To Whom It May Concern,

How have you been?
I pray your company may be ever prosperous and be successful in every plan of yours hereafter.
Since conclusion with your company last August, our company has been considering a lot of plans of technical interchange and cooperation between your company and ours. As part of it, we’d like to decide on plans of a concrete interchange with your company so that we can interchange the Biomass Design Technology your company holds.)

Now goes a question:

I wrote the above myself.
However, I am often negative toward my writing.

Therefore, I would appreciate it, would you kindly check up some of rather bad uses of mine there, please?
...especially this following part as well as other misuses that may occur:
“so that we can interchange the Biomass Design Technology”
In the right above, I used the verb ‘interchange,’ but I guess somewhere around the word is wrong, may I suppose.

I appreciate your better tips in advance.

Hi, It's completely wrong to start with 'to whom it may concern'. Did you not get someone's name last August when you contacted the other company? Have a look at the word 'exchange'.

Have a look at the word 'exchange'. It seems more suitable to your needs.

Is such an extreme level of politeness normal in your culture? It is not, where I live, and would seem excessive here.

Clive Have you previously asked this company if they are interested in the idea of exchanging information with you? You should, I think, before discussing details like Biomass.

Thank you for your being so kind as to answer to what I was curious about.

Actually, I wrote it for the sake of an anonymous temporary acquaintance of mine.

Hi,

What I wrote was correct. The meaning is this.
You should, I think, ask this company if they are interested in the idea of exchanging information with you before discussing details like Biomass.”
