[In His Most Exalted Name
Mr. Sani`i, Prosecutor General, in a letter dated 21/2/1364 AHS described the reasons for his resignation from the post and called on Imam Khomeini to accept his resignation. He citied the reasons for his resignation in four axes: physical weakness due to five years of consecutive work in the prosecutor general's office, refusal and absence of toleration of supervision over good performance of law by groups and bands, holding ideas and principles in Islamic matters which some gentlemen count as unusual and thus resisted, lack of support of some officials and society for prosecutor general's office, stressing the first cause that is the basis of decision-making. Imam Khomeini replied by writing the following:]
In His Most Exalted Name
