In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds; may God's peace and salutation be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and His curse be upon all their enemies.
Next, His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Sayyid Ahmad Fahri Zanjani- may His graces last- who has spent a long period of his noble life studying religious sciences in the sacred theological schools, is herewith appointed as my representative in Syria and Lebanon. God willing, he shall take steps to solve the religious difficulties and religious needs of their people and make sufficient efforts in this direction. In this regard, he is authorized to accept religious taxes and to spend them in the region. He is authorized to pay the share of the sadat to the needy sadat and use half the Blessed portion of the Imam- may God's peace be upon him- for propagation of the sacred tenets and lofty ideals of blessed Islam.
"And I admonish him, may God Almighty assist him, as we have been admonished by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren.
