The letter requested dialogue and engagement between the two nations, the sources said.
The sources said Khamenei has yet to reply to the letter but nonetheless it "had set the negotiating table in order for both sides to sit around it after the election."
Khamenei made an indirect reference to the letter in his sermon Friday at Tehran University.
"The U.S. president said that we were waiting for a day like this to see people on the street," the Iranian leader said.

Obama: Stop the violence or I’ll remove you from “My Faves” list on my Blackberry..................
How long before even the fawning talking heads have to recognize how misguided and feeble the ‘Bama’s foreign policy efforts are? The reason we don’t talk to tin horn dictators is that they always construe such overtures as weakness and become even more beligerent. They have nothing but contempt for weakness.
Isn’t that illegal?
Well, its alot easier to hide your marxist agenda from the headlines when one senior GOP leader after another is boinking the help.
This should be in sidebar.
Obama is the worst kind of Leader - he has contempt for his own weakness. Certainly explains his exhiliaration when he ‘got that fly’. . .
If Obama really wants the assatollah to like us he should send Rev Wright over there..
