#1  Erdegon the Sultan, by the grace of Allah, King of Kings, sovereign of sovereigns, most high Emperor of Byzantium and Trebizond, very powerful King of Persia, Arabia, of Syria and of Egypt, Supreme Lord of Europe and Asia, Prince of Mecca and Aleppo, Lord of Jerusalem, and Ruler of the Universal Sea.

To: Katerina Sakellaropoulou, Her Excellency of the Hellenic Republic.

Greeting, I congratulate you upon your new dignity and upon your election from your parliament. I trust you will rule there prosperously and with even more glory than your predecessors.

I also mean to cultivate your favor. Rejoice then with me, as a very dear friend that folling in the footsteps of previous Sultans who conquered Persia, Jerusalem, Arabia, and Egypt, who had captured that most powerful of fortresses Belgrade, during Suleiman's reign.

After which, having offered battle to the infidel, which they had not the courage to accept, took many other beautiful and well fortified cities and destroyed most of their inhabitants either by sword or fire, the remainder being reduced to slavery.
