Apart from the aforementioned personalities, there are other reported instances of correspondence. Munzir ibn Sawa Al Tamimi, the governor of Bahrain was apparently an addressee, with a letter having been delivered to him through Al-Ala'a Al-Hadrami. Some subjects of the governor reportedly converted to Islam, whereas others did not.[63] A similar letter was sent to Hauda bin Ali, the governor of Al-Yamama, who replied that he would only convert if he were given a position of authority within Muhammad's government, a proposition which Muhammad was unwilling to accept.[63] The then ruler of Damascus, Harith ibn Abi Shamir al-Ghassani, reportedly reacted less than favourably to Muhammad's correspondence, viewing it as an insult.[63]
