To the Great Leader of the Revolution and Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, His Highness Grand Ayatullah Imam Khomeini- may his sublime existence endure,
With the conveyance of greetings and salutations, you are kindly notified that during the initial period of the victory of the Islamic Revolution you, directly or through your esteemed office, authorized some of the gentlemen to shoulder the responsibility of administering the mentioned sites and their pertinent endowments in a bid to avoid wasting endowments and funds of the holy shrines and sites. Now, thank God, the relevant laws and rules have been approved by the Islamic Consultative Assembly and endorsed by the honorable Guardian Council, and their regulations have been drawn up and approved. In the text of the law, Imam Rida's (`a) holy shrine, Hadrat Ma`soumah (`a) holy shrine, Hadrat `Abdul-`Azim al-Hasani (`a) holy shrine, and Hadrat Ahmad ibn Mousa Shahcheragh (`a) holy shrine in Shiraz whose castodians have been directly designated by Your Eminence, have been exempted. If you allow, as in the past, the other holy sites would be administered under the guardianship of the outstanding chiefs. Of course, based on the rules they can also serve as the trustees through this organization. In any case, we seek Your Eminence's blessed opinion. Whatever order you have will be implemented.
