To His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
Your Majesty!
Please accept my sincere condolences over the terror attack in Stockholm in which entirely harmless people died and suffered. I ask You to convey my words of support to those who had lost their near and dear ones in this tragedy.
Nowadays as civilization is facing global threats of terrorism and extremism, the world community must unite efforts in the struggle against this evil.
I pray to the Merciful God to grant soonest recovery to the injured, consolation to the mourners, and strength of the spirit and fortitude in this ordeal to Your Majesty and to all people in Sweden.
With respect,
