As Robert said, an introductory email that is just that and expresses a wish to work together wouldn't be considered spam.

The problem is it technically IS spam, because it's unsolicited - and not everyone is as reasonable as you, Melissa!
There are a lot of business people who take severe offense to being contacted for any kind of sales purpose (which I find ironic ... business people who hate sales people are such hypocrites!).
The spam laws are totally over the top - most importantly they don't work. They just hamper honest business people - the scum bags go ahead and do it anyway ... it's all a bit pointless, if you ask me - but what can you do?
In my case ... stuff the email marketing and focus on telemarketing. It's less regulated in the commercial sector and in my experience, far more effective.
