In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Your Excellency, the Leader of Libya:
After greeting and salutation, [let me state that] the case of the honorable Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Sadr has become a mysterious puzzle. His relatives, after investigating, claim that he is in Libya. Since Your Excellency is given much respect and affections by the clergy and other fronts, and since this issue has caused them much worry, it may be necessary for you to look into the matter and ask your government to inform us of his health and his whereabouts in order to end our worries. May peace be upon you.
