"I am excited to know that our campaign is contributing to your government's plan" to promote education and economic improvements among Bolivia's mainly Quechua-speaking ethnic groups, the software billionaire wrote to Morales in a letter.
Microsoft in August presented the Bolivian government with a version of its Windows operating system in Quechua, South America's most prevalent language before Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World brought the introduction of now-prevalent Spanish and Portuguese.
In the letter, Gates offered Microsoft's help "in the goal of providing all of Bolivia's people access" to the Internet and modern technology, La Razon reported.
He also told Morales, 46, a populist leftist elected president in January with the heavy support from Bolivia's indigenous groups, that he hoped "I have the chance in future of getting to know you."
La Razon said sources in the president's office said there was interest in holding a meeting between the two in February.
