In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Ma'moun `Abdul-Qayyoum, President of Maldives,
The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the eve of the holy month of Ramadan is acknowledged with gratitude. Reciprocally, I extended my congratulations to Your Excellency and to the Muslim nation of your country for the arrival of this holy month. It is hoped that by availing of the blessings of this month, the deprived and downtrodden Muslims of the world could deliver themselves from the dominance of the world-devourers and their mercenaries. May peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
