If I do not have an ARC card becasue I was let go from my job in the first two weeks do I need a letter of release?

Yes, because your current visa is sponsored by your (last) place of work...

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure I am not.

I always thought that you had 3 months from the day your E-2 was issued to get your ARC and register with Immigration or your E-2 would expire.

That's my understanding too, but best check with efl law to be sure that nothing's changed recently.

I was fired though within the first two weeks, I did not go down to get that ARC card in that time. From what I gather I think that I do need a letter of release to find another job even though I do not have an ARC card.

That sounds correct to me. You have 90 days before you must register for an ARC.

You need the letter if you want to find another job NOW, but if they won't give it to you ( safe to assume that's the case, since you're asking) then once that 3 months is up, you can find a new job without any complications from this one.
