Dear Lisa,
I hope you are doing well. I just watched an amazing movie last night and I wanted to share it with you. The movie is called The Pursuit of Happyness starring Will Smith.

I went to see it with my cousin, who had watched it once and wanted me to experience it too. The film tells the story of a man who struggles with poverty while raising his son but never gives up. It is deeply emotional and very inspiring.

What I love most is the message: with determination and hard work, you can overcome even the hardest challenges. It also shows the importance of family and staying strong during difficult times. I think you would love it too.
Let me know if you want to watch it together next weekend.
Warm wishes,
