To Mr Klaus Schulze,

Dear Sir,

We are a Music Company in Iran with a over 30 years of background in production and release of music. We hold the highest number of sold albums ever in Iran.
We would like to extend our invitation to you for a concert in Tehran. This concert would be the first of its kind in Iran with 20% of its profit going directly to UNICEF. The reason for this invitation is that we hold the highest respect for you as an artist and for your music as the first and the best of its kind if we assume there is a comparison.
As you may be aware to invite any artist to Iran we need to get government permission but before doing so would like to know if you are interested.
I am more than happy to provide you with our full resume and any information required. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Kind Regards,
N.N.,
Music Division Director - Tanin Sote

Our answer today was:

Many thanks for your very kind offer.
I discussed this offer with Klaus Schulze, and we both agreed:
Thank you very much, but there will be no KS concert in Tehran or in Iran.

Best regards,
Klaus D. Mueller
Berlin

Es stimmt, dass es im Iran relativ viele Klaus Schulze-Hörer gibt. Das hat mir zumindest eine iranische Freundin erzählt, die seit vielen Jahren in Deutschland lebt. Ich war mit ihr 2009 zum Konzert nach Essen gefahren, das war leider das Konzert, das Lisa Gerrard alleine gestaltet hat, da Klaus Schulze kurzfristig krankheitsbedingt abgesagt hat.

Selbstverständlich gibt es im Iran auch Klaus Schulze-Hörer und Fans. Die iranische Konzertagentur - ein großer Musik-Multi, der weiß was er tut - wird ja nicht einen Künstler einladen, der dort unbekannt ist, der Agentur also finanziell nix bringt.

Die Absage erfolgt also in erster Linie aus politischen Gründen?

Nein.
Übrigens hat der iranische Konzertveranstalter sehr nett geantwortet:

Thank you for email.
Well, bad luck. May be some other time.
Please give my best regards to Mr Schulze, and please convey my best whishes for his health.
Kind Regards.
Hadi Abdollahi.
