[In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Our dear, good and honorable leader,
with greeting!
God willing, you are in good health. If you are healthy and lively, we are also happy. It is for two years that the Martyrs' Foundation organizes nationwide camp for children of martyrs, the prisoners of war and those missing in action. Each year it is our wish to meet you, but our wish has not so far come true. This year for the third time we go for the camp, we request you as our father to send us a message and give us a piece of advice on what we should do in society after our father.
Good bye. God willing we might be able to meet you one day.
O, God! O, God! Keep Khomeini until the Mahdi's revolution!

In His Most Exalted Name
My dearest child,
Your kind letter on behalf of the dear children of martyrs, those missing in action and the prisoners of war delighted me. It is hoped that you dear children who are reminiscent of the selfless warriors in the cause of God and dear Islam prepare yourselves as did your honorable fathers for defending the great Islam and dear country. I hope you to be efficient children for acquiring knowledge and ethics and struggle for acquiring human perfection and Islamic ethics for dear Islam and the country.
By losing your dear ones, you are the children of Islam and the honorable prophet. I hope you will be successful under the protection of God and treat your relatives, particularly your bereaved mothers, well. I pray God
Almighty to grant health to you, mercy to martyrs, health and liberation to prisoners of war and those missing in action. May God's Peace be upon you!
