In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Erik Honker, President of the German Democratic Republic,
I acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's message of congratulations on the occasion of the third anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and extend my appreciation. I implore the Exalted God to grant salvation to all the deprived and oppressed peoples of the world from the burden of domination of colonialists.
