His Excellency Mr. Ma'moun `Abdul-Qayyoum, President of Republic of Maldives,
I acknowledge the receipt of your telegraph yesterday congratulating on the occasion of the auspicious birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (s) and extend my appreciation. Reciprocally, I extend my congratulation to the brother Muslim people of your country and you on the great Islamic feast and implore God to grant majesty and happiness to Muslims of the world. May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
