In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Ramadan-`Ali Qouchani (May his blessings last long),
I received a scroll with the signature of many of the honorable clerics and residents of the town of Qouchan, requesting you to go and stay there for guiding, preaching, attending to religious matters, performing congregational prayer and meeting the needs of the city's residents. In view of the timing and your familiarity with the region, you are advised to call the residents to unity and solidarity while fulfilling your religius obligations.
It is hoped that the residents would appreciate your presence and not spare you the cooperation requisite to forwarding the noble goals of Islam. I implore the Almighty God to grant success to you all. May God's peace, mercy and blessing be upon you!
