"Content Partnership Opportunity" advice needed

This may be an 'email me separately' request for help, but if anyone has time to give me a few pointers and ideas on this, whether here or through email, I'd appreciate it.

Got a "content partnership opportunity" email yesterday from "one of the top interactive marketing agencies in the US." It says they "offer relevant websites professionally authored content that reflects our team’s experience in the financial service industry and contains 1-2 links to our client’s website (similar to a guest post)."

I have many questions about this sort of stuff, like how do I determine my price and other variables (like link life), how do I keep endorsements of products or services I don't like or support off my site, how do I preserve my site's hard-won credibility (at least I hope it's credible) and still take advantage of opportunities like this to earn some money and not turn off readers, do you just ignore these sorts of inquiries? etc.

Thanks for any guidance.

Kurt

Thanks again for all the generous offers. I've gotten some useful input, sorely needed as I bumble through this sort of stuff the first time or two.
