Greetings,
Subject: Gratuity
The workers (Hassan Nazzal Rashid) and (Naji Mahdi Saleh) were previously
referred to retirement on 25 / 6 / 1972 due to old age.
In view of the fact that their notification of separation from service took place on
11 / 7 / 1972, after the retirement procedures were completed,
and based on the repeated requests of these two workers
to the school administration to grant them some gratuities on the occasion of
retirement, we therefore suggest granting each of them a gratuity in the amount of ten
dinars, considering this amount equivalent to the most recent monthly salary
for each of them approximately.
Please accept our highest respect.
