Dear Professor Piller,
I should like to take this opportunity to express my own and many colleagues deep gratitude to you for all you did during your academic visit to Iran. We understand that at this time of the year you are very busy with a heavy workload at Macquarie University, but you have been kind enough to accept our requests for presentations and workshops in different universities, located wide apart geographically, from Tehran University in the Northern zone to Shiraz university in the Southern part of Iran.

Similar to your scholarly publications, your presentations and workshops proved to be quite informative and insightful. Your scholarly comment on sociolinguistics and critical discourse provided our students and researchers with novel issues for further research.

Your illuminating insights went beyond current issues in linguistics and discourse. Your comments on historical sites in Iran, particularly the Persepolis in Shiraz, were similarly fascinating. Your views on the language carved on the stones of this magnificent monument, for example, were quite informative. We hope such novel comments will be developed further in your future visits to disclose more of the secrets still left untouched in such monumental treasures.

Hi Professor Piller,
We enjoyed hearing from Iran right from the mouth of a Westerner. Besides, we at Sharif University are impatiently waiting for your book to be out soon. We hope to see you in Iran again. Wish u a safe trip back to Sydney.
