In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh `Abdullah Nouri- may his graces last,
It is apropos to commemorate the self-sacrifices of one of the great commanders of the Islamic revolution in Iran, the late Martyr Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Fadlullah Mahallati. He was among my faithful companions and one who suffered during the period of the blood-shedding struggle of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. I implore God to bestow mercy on him and admit him in His Proximity. I would like to express my gratitude to the efforts of his deputy, His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam `Iraqi. «1» He was a religious and righteous person who has rendered praiseworthy services during the war and, God willing, from now on he would be at the service of Islam, Iran and the Islamic Revolution. I designate you I believe that you are an erudite, combatant, and pious person with unique political acumen, not to mention being among the honorable families of the martyrs, an honor by itself- as my representative in the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). It is necessary to remind you as well as my dear children in the IRGC of the following points:
1. The duties legally entrusted to you must be carefully observed; you should never disregard them. My children in the IRGC should not commit the least violation of the law.
2. Your being my representative encompasses the military, administrative and ministerial affairs of the IRGC. Thus, all the cultural, political-ideologica and intellectual issues, propagation and press activities, preservation of information, and other legal issues are under your supervision, and you must be the guide in all the mentioned cases.
3. All my children in the IRCG including the commanders and others should always make necessary coordination with my honorable representative; violation of this order would be dealt with accordingly.
4. From now on, confirmation of the dismissal and appointment of the commanders lies with you.
5. As you are also my representative in the Jihad for Reconstruction, I pray to God, the Exalted, that with the cooperation of the IRGC and the Jihad for Reconstruction you could make these two sacred institutions of the revolution cooperate and assist each other so that they would serve Islam, the revolution and Iran.
I pray to God, the Exalted, for your success and confirmation. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
