My Dear Brother, Your Royal Highness Prince Hassan, May God protect you,

I am sending you Arab Hashemite greetings with affection and appreciation. More than thirty years ago, I entrusted you with the position of crown prince,

and you have accomplished the task entrusted to you with diligence, enthusiasm and resolve that knows no fatigue or failure. You have been a brother and a supporter standing by my side in difficult times shouldering with me a great deal of responsibilities on the domestic and sometimes external fronts.
