In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr. Qadi `Abdul-Sattar, Acting President of the Republic of Bangladesh,
I received your telegraph on the heartrending tragedy of the recent earthquake in Kerman. I appreciate your sympathy and kindness and beseech God to grant success and glory to all Muslims of the world and to the brotherly people of Bangladesh.
May God's peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
