One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear from you. I'm writing to tell you something about Charlie Chaplin, who is my favorite western comedian. Chaplin was born in a poor area of London. At an early age, he was forced to join the mobile troupe, travelling all over the UK. Afterwards he began working in the movie business, and in 1914 in a film he created a tragedy "Charlot", and this special image is also my favorite film image. It brings both amusement and thinking to the audience.
I like Chaplin especially because of his hard-working and perseverant attitude to life and his
career.
I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
LiHua
