In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Thank God you are all healthy and feel well lest the enemy may feel happy. We have nothing to tell you dear ones except praying and praying. I don't know how to disclose my inner feelings and love for the dear Imam. But I only know that I want but I cannot. I know the leader who is dearer than my life cannot read the letter of a humble and poor woman like me on because of numerous incoming letters (I also don't expect, because the Imam's existence is more important and valuable than everything else), but for the sake of God write me a line with the Imam's handwriting. I am currently a teacher and before being employed I dedicated one month of my salary by some oblation for the Imam's grandfather. I phoned the office on two occasions, you told me to bring the money to Jamaran. But since I live far from there, Shahre Rey, you advised me to send it by mail. I am now sending the money, an inconsiderable amount of two thousand and three hundred tomans, in this letter and hope it will reach you. If you receive the letter, please acknowledge the receipt so that I know my oblation has been accepted. Give the money to the dearer-than-my-soul Imam. He is free to spend it as he deems advisable. Please forgive me for my bad handwriting. I don't take more of your precious time. May God be with you all! May God grant longevity to our great Imam! In the hope of victory and liberation of all occupied lands from the clutches of the Zionists and imperialists, from Iran to the dear Quds, God willing.
