Thank you for your efforts and your hard work in guiding our national team in the World Cup Qualifiers. Your dedication and love for your country sets you apart from most athletes in Iran.

We would like to, however, ask that you reconsider your decision to invite Rasoul Khatibi to Team Melli. As you have seen, Rasoul Khatibi is not a quality striker and alwasy wastes quality chances in front of the opponent's goal. To many Iranians his inclusion remains a mystery as her has consistently been unsuccessful in Team Melli.

At this stage in the qualifiers when every goal is crucial, we need to look at other candidates in our league. We can not afford to waste so many opportunities.

We ask that you cross out Rasoul Khatibi's name off the Team Melli roster and find a better replacement.
