Can someone help me write a fan letter? 2014/7/7 14:57
I'm writing my first fan letter and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I want to send it to Miyazaki Hayao. This is what I wrote so far. I think I used watashi too often. (I wrote in English if I didn't know how to say it in Japanese. Can someone provide an accurate translation?)

初めて観たあなたの作品は、小さい頃に見た Spirited Away です。それはずっと私のお気に入りです。

いつかあなたに会えたらいいなと思っています。
It makes me very happy to watch your movies.
あなたの映画を観るのと本当に幸せになれます。
Your movies inspire me to find happiness and success in life.

Though you have retired, I hope you will live life to the fullest!!
あなたは引退しても、充実した日々を送ると期待しています!
