After greetings, the honorable Chairman of the Administrative Committee, I have been informed of the decision of the esteemed Administrative Committee in its letter No. M/53/5 dated 12/5/7 regarding stopping the monthly aid allocated to me in the amount of 10 dinars. On this occasion, I present to the esteemed Council my financial situation, as I have no one to support me and my imprisoned son, whose health has deteriorated as a result of the multiple operations that were performed on him, and as he has become in dire need of assistance. I would like to explain to the esteemed Committee that I learned that the reason for cutting off the monthly aid is that it is said that I have a house and I sold it, and I assure you that this news has no basis in truth at all, and the matter is not challenged if I am the agent of one of my sons with his share at a rate of one-fifth and another one-fifth belonging to a person whose nationality was revoked, so it was frozen, and the remainder belongs to another person. The house was sold in the year 1951, and the amount that I received, which is equal to one-fifth and is an amount that was spent at the time on the family members as wages and expenses. Their travel outside Iraq. This is all there is to the story of the house and I think the same issue was raised when the previous council decided on the aforementioned aid but some of its members stood on the truth and after verifying the issue decided to grant me the aforementioned aid and based on the above I hope the esteemed administrative committee will reconsider with sympathy my case in light of what was mentioned above and return the aid allocated to me which alone can I support my imprisoned son and I ask God to grant you success in doing good. Please accept my highest respect. Regina Heskel Lawi 12/27/953 21

Through the Principal of Frank Iny School
After greetings: -
I had submitted a letter to your respected committee requesting the allocation of a monthly salary for my services
in the school in the amount of twelve dinars per month, and this amount is the minimum I can accept
to continue teaching under the current situation.
However, unfortunately, your respected committee did not pay attention to my request and decided to approve giving me
500/- five hundred fils for each lecture at a time when I did not request approval for something
that was already decided and recorded in the school books before I presented my simple request to you.
So I hope for approval to give me a monthly salary of 12/- twelve dinars per month,
i.e., 144/- one hundred and forty-four dinars annually, starting from the opening of the school
until the end of the year, similar to my fellow teachers.
Knowing that I have not stopped teaching until now and will remain until the end of the current
month until I know the result. Sincerely yours,
The Teacher
