In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise is to Allah, the Lord of the worlds; may God's peace be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and His curse be upon all their enemies.
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Shaykh `Ali Akbar Ashtiyani- may his graces last- has been granted permission on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs and collect religious funds and apportion the Share of the Sadat [descendants of the Prophet]; and to use one-third of the sum as the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) for his own expenses and for propagation of the sacred laws; and to remit another one-third of the amount to this humble expenses for expenses of the blessed seminaries, may God Almighty protect them from incidents.
"And I admonish him, may God Almighty assist him, as we have been admonished by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious in his worldly and afterworld affairs. I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers."
May God's peace and mercy be upon him and our faithful brethren.
