They visited homeland under the particular concern of Kim Jong Un and received warm loving care they used to receive from Kim Jong Il, the letter said, and went on:

Kim Jong Il, who was born as the son of the guerrillas and grew up to be the outstanding strategist and peerlessly illustrious commander, never thought him as a special human being but lived an ordinary life of the son of the people.

The world history knows no such a leader as Kim Jong Il whose heart stopped beating on the running train in the middle of field guidance for the well-being and happiness of the country and the people.

We could rise up by turning the bitterest sorrow into thousand-fold strength and courage, bearing in mind the belief that he is always with us because we have you, another great leader Kim Jong Un.

We will hold you in high esteem as the sun of the nation and the lodestar of national reunification with the one and the same mind with which we firmly believed in and followed Kim Jong Il despite the complicated situation abroad.

We will make tangible contributions, material and moral, to the patriotic work to greet the forthcoming Day of the Sun as a great jubilee in the nation's history and a holiday common to mankind and thus carry out without fail the pledge we made in bitter tears before the bier of Kim Jong Il.
