To His Holiness Imam Khomeini, Leader of the Islamic Revolution- may his benign existence endure,
May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Regarding the need for creation of Prayer Ground in Tehran and pursuant to the years of search and study, a conducive venue at the north central part of Tehran (`Abbas Abad), which is under the ownership of the Tehran Municipal Committee, was identified and an appropriate and general design was prepared after conducting many consultations and setting competition for engineers from here and abroad.
Since the legal and registration problems and protocol of legal transfer cannot be solved very soon while the problems on the performance of the Friday congregational prayers in Tehran at the university are mounting, and it seems that this task will be settled through Your Eminence's willpower and motivation, your permission is henceforth requested for the allocation of one million square meters of the mentioned pieces of land along the Beheshti Avenue toward the north, whose main part was obtained with the consent of the City Mayor's Office and at the disposal of the Prayer Ground for its building and to the extent necessary in the axis of qiblah from the north for the other accompanying (establishments), and for the Friday congregational prayer leader to take charge of its affairs.
Similarly, (your permission is sought) for the projects in the precinct of the Prayer Ground to be foreseen later to be implemented with the consent of the Friday congregational prayer leader.

In His Most Exalted Name
Provided that religious considerations concerning the mentioned land are observed, I agree with the suggestions made by Messrs. Khamene'i and Hashimi. God willing, along with building the Prayer Ground of Tehran, you would also succeed in building the kufr (disbelief) - negation insight of the Muslims. By the way, the simplicity of the Prayer Ground should be a reminiscence of the simplicity of the place of worship of the Muslims during the advent of Islam. And the hypocrisy and luster of the American Islam's mosque infrastructures must be strongly avoided. May God confirm all the workers for the erection of the mosques of Allah.
