The Inquirer: `Ali Rida Nowbari (Head of the Central Bank)
[In His Most Exalted Name
The great Leader of the Revolution and the Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hadrat Ayatullah Imam Khomeini, may his blessings last long:
A number of taghoutis and fugitives belonging to the past regime whose properties are now in the control of the Bonyad-e Mustad`afan (the Foundation for the Deprived) and other revolutionary organizations are in debt to the country's banks. It is requested that instructions be given for the country's banking system to collect and secure its dues from these assets now in the control of the above mentioned organizations. May your life and these glorious days last long. With respects. `Ali Rida Nawbari]
In His Most Exalted Name
Approval is hereby given. It is necessary that the Foundation appoint representatives to look into this matter. The bank's representatives will have to present the relative documents supporting the claims. After the matter is established, the dues to the bank can be recovered and the surplus amount utilized for the benefit of the deprived.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
