The message reads, in part:

"You belong to a group of richly gifted and truly creative people. During your years in the cinema you have managed to brilliantly realise your talent and embody your bright and unique ideas. All your movies become an event and always evoke a keen response from the audience.

I wish you further success both in the arts and in your social activities. I wish strong health and well-being for you and your family."
