To Whom It May Concern
Mr. Midhat Ibrahim has approached us requesting a document confirming that he is a
graduate of the Alliance School for the year 1924. Since the aforementioned school was closed
and merged with the Frank Iny School in 1951, its records have been lost and destroyed from
its founding until the date 1942 / 1943. Therefore, it is impossible for us to provide the aforementioned person
with the requested document due to the unavailability of this information with us at the present time,
noting that we manage the affairs of the aforementioned Alliance School. Accordingly, we have provided him
with this letter.

Greetings.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that your daughter Niran has been absent from school for twenty-eight
consecutive school days without providing the school administration with a legitimate excuse for that, in addition to her previous
absences totaling eighteen days. Therefore, we request that you inform the school administration of the reason for this absence.
The school administration would also like to inform you that Article Forty-Five of the Secondary School Regulations No. (54)
for the year 1954 regarding school absences states the following:-
The full attendance grade is considered one hundred at the beginning of each school year, and two grades are deducted from the attendance grades for
every day the student is absent without a legitimate excuse. A student is considered to have failed in their class if 51% or more is deducted from their
attendance grades.
And Article Forty-Six of the same regulation states the following:-
If a student is absent for more than sixty school days starting from the beginning of instruction, they shall be barred from taking the exam
at the end of the year or the general exam for the same year, regardless of the excuses.
Please take note of this and cooperate with the school administration in urging your daughter to attend and not to be absent from school
unless you decide to have her leave the school permanently, in which case her name will be struck from our records.
