not enough information What are you trying to do? Get her a tourist or a fiancee visa? Typically the consulate is not interested in non-binding letters. I am not sure how tourist visas go and what you need to do to "co-sign" for a tourist. Have you looked on the consulate's website? There is lots of information there:
http://bogota.usembassy.gov/wwwsnive.shtml

I would venture a guess that a letter from you would not help her to be granted a visa. The reason is that she must prove compelling reasons to return to Colombia such as property a business or an established career. Having a boyfriend in the US would have the opposite effect you intend as it would prove a strong reason NOT to return to Colombia.

If you are filing for a fiancee visa, there is no letter, just various financial forms (amongst other forms) that are first submitted to the immigration service in the USA. You cannot go direct to the consulate unless you have been living in Colombia for the last 6 months or more. There is also more information on that at the consulate's website.

Good luck!
