Permission [Financial assistance to the Education Ministry of Qum]

[In His Most Exalted Name

His Eminence Ayatullah Mousawi Ardebili- may his blessings last,

With my greetings and prayer of your success, you are notified that the officials of the Education Ministry department of Qum have reported that every year approximately one-hundred classrooms or four schools needed in this town. At the present conditions, apart from holding the three shifts in of most of the schools, a conspicuous number is busy studying while sitting on the floor and even without floor mat. Alongside this, due to unemployment on weekly basis, the issue of moral corruption is discussed. For relatively solving this serious problem, considerable assistance is hereby requested from the properties, which are at Your Eminence's disposal as having unknown owners or without owners at all. With thanks and wish for health and long life for Hadrat Imam- may his benign existence endure for the Muslims.

Since such cases are not included in the cases for which Hadrat Imam has granted permission in writing, I do give my consent for the payment of 50 million tumans on the condition that Hadrat Imam would give permission.
