On June 18, a letter was presented by Iranian filmmakers
Marjane Satrapi (director of the critically Acclaimed Film
Persepolis) and has since been widely circulated with Mousavi Supporters. No verification of the letter has been provided. Interior Minister Sadegh Mahsouli allegedly wrote the letter to
Ayatollah Khamenei on June 13 (a day after the elections), stating the fraud and listing the authentic vote count. A quick view of the letter shows that it was fake. The letter was roughly translated as follows; "
Salaam Aleikum. ''Following your concerns regarding the results of the presidential election and per your discretion to have Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad remain president during this sensitive juncture. Therefore, everything has been planned so that the public announcement will be made in the regime's interests and the revolution. All necessary precautions have been taken to deal with any unexpected events of election aftermath and the intense monitoring of all the parties' leaders and the election candidates.''
However, some believe that the real votes counted are as follows: Total number of votes: 43,026,078 Mir Hossein Mousavi: 19,075,623 Mehdi Karoubi: 13,387,104 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: 5,698,417 Mohsen Rezaee: 3,754,218 Void: 38,716 Minister of Interior Sadegh Mahsouli" == References ==
