Then perhaps you need to do more research before you get on the  airplane?  Do you speak Spanish?  What kind don't of work do you expect to do?  Why does your info say your are living in Quito when you have never been there?

Just so you know about the legality of what you're asking for...

1.  The person who issues a Letter of Invitation for the purposes of tourism or immigration, must first of all be a citizen or permanent resident.

2. The Letter of Invitation carries with it two very weighty legal obligations, firstly to guarantee the financial sufficiency of the invitee (i.e. if he/she can't pay their expenses, the person who issues the letter is legally responsible to pay them). Second, they must guarantee that the invitee will leave the country when their visa expires.

3.  It is a crime to make false statements or omit major facts in a Letter of Invitation, this will not only result in denial of a visa, but also criminal charges.

4.  It is a crime to charge or offer to pay any fee for a Letter of Invitation.

5.  Immigrations authorities will be looking for proof of some family relationship, long-term personal friendship, or an employer/employee relationship in any Letter of Invitation. If they can't establish one, they deny the visa.

Now do you really think that you're going to find someone here who is willing to provide a Letter of Invitation to a complete stranger??? I can assure you that you will not.
