In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful,
To His Highness our dear and kind father, Imam Khomeini,
We hope that you will accept our warm regards and that you are free from any kind of illness and adversities. We wanted to write you a letter and advise you just, as we read in our religious book in the fifth grade, like Imam Muhammad-Taqi (s), «1» who had advised the governor of Sistan. But we came to realize that this is a big mistake and sin, because you are a great and pious man who have stood against Eastern and Western powers and who are fighting against satanic powers. We, children, do not know much. How can we venture to advise you? As such, we decided to write you a letter and extend our warm and kind greetings and implore the Great God to keep you under His protection in all undertakings and grant success to you and the forces of Islam over the forces of Saddam and the Ba`athist infidels as soon as possible. Amen, O Lord of the Universe.
O God, O God, Keep Khomeini alive till Mahdi's Revolution.

My dear good children,
How good it would be for you to have written the advice you had in mind. We are all in need of advice and the advice of you, dear ones, is unprejudiced and inspired by your purity of heart. Now, as an old father, I advise you, dear ones, to endeavor for the acquisition of knowledge, ethics and good deeds so that you would be useful and committed individuals for great Islam and your dear country.
May God be your friend and guardian.
