How to read a remote environment variable when executing commands using SSH

Hello everbody! I want to execute a command to a remote computer using
SSH. Some of arguements provided to the command are read from
environment variables from the local computers, and some arguements are
read from the environment variables of the remote computer. To give an
example:

Environment variables
-------------------------------
Local: NAME="KOSTIS"
Local: HOSTNAME="LOCAL_COMPUTER"
Remote: NAME="HLEKTRA"
Remote: HOSTNAME="REMOTE_COMPUTER"

What I want to do
--------------------------
I want to create a file named MyFile at the remote computer containing
the phrase "KOSTIS is logged to the REMOTE_COMPUTER"

The command I execute
-----------------------------------
ssh -i identity_file -l username "echo $NAME is logged to the
\$REMOTE_COMPUTER > MyFile"

When I type the command at the shell and I run it, it works perfectly.
The problem is that if I type the command inside a script and I execute
the script, the phrase that is written to the remote file is "KOSTIS is
logged to the LOCAL_COMPUTER".

Any help would be appreciated!!!!!
