Correspondence: Correspondence to be sent to: Maria Gorelik, The Incumbent of te Frances andMax Hersh Career Development Chair, Weizmann Institute of Science, PO Box 26, Rehovot 76100, Israel. e-mail: maria.gorelik{at}weizmann.ac.il

We describe the structure of a Verma module with a generic highest weight at the critical level over a symmetrizable affine Lie superalgebra g != A(2k, 2l)(4). We obtain the character formula for a simple module with a generic highest weight at the critical level conjectured by V. G. Kac and D. A. Kazhdan.
