In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To the Great Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini- may his benign existence endure,
With the conveyance of greetings and salutations as you know Khordad 15 Foundation was founded by order of Your Eminence. It has assumed the responsibility of meeting the urgent needs of the noble families of martyrs, disabled of the war, those missing in action, prisoners of war and the downtrodden. Now, to the extent of its capability, it has been able to perform this important task efficiently by opening offices in different parts of the country, and provides for the various needs of this noble stratum. Now, thank God, it enjoys a better financial condition and is capable of doing more important tasks. In view of the urgent needs of Qum and its suburbs for agricultural and potable water, the foundation seeks permission to construct a big dam to provide the needed water for this region. I request you to order the government to carry out and finance part of the project and ask different organs of the country to help the foundation with this task. May Allah prolong your benign existence for the Muslims.
Superintendent of Khordad
15 Foundation
In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Hasan Sani`i, the Superintendent of Khordad 15 Foundation- may his graces last,
With gratitude for your efforts and that of all officials of Khordad 15 Foundation, your suggestion is approved. In this vital affair, it is necessary for the government, the prime minister, the Minister of Energy, and the
minister of Construction Jihad to exert considerable efforts and actively participate in the project by extending financial assistance and removing the hurdles. As I have said earlier, helping the deprived, the disabled of the war, families of martyrs, prisoners of war and those missing in action is one of the highest acts of worship. The government and the judicial officials should bear in mind that assisting the mentioned foundation in meeting the needs of the deprived is one of the noblest revolutionary acts.
I hope you can partly make up for the valuable services of the people of Qum, the city of blood and uprising, martyrdom and sacrifice, and help this holy city through constructing a big dam, and inform me of the progress of the dam.
