To the President of the Administrative Committee of the Community

Greetings,
We inform your Excellency that the Deputy Governor of Bombay contacted us by phone this morning and informed us
of the painter painting the community rooms which took place in ⟦...⟧ your Excellency, and they estimated the amount
according to what one of the employees, Mr. Naeem Sheikh, the Director of Accounts, saw regarding
accounting matters, and it was done urgently. It turned out that the private papers and receipts
were found in the room, and I learned that the painter stole something amounting to twenty-five Dinars at the
same hour. All procedures were taken in the vehicle of the Head of the Community, accompanied by Alam Or, that
the police department be informed for fear of the oppression of these painters because they are rebels. Since I
cannot afford to pay this amount, and the accountant told me to cover this amount from my salary, despite the services
I have provided to the community administration for eight years, all with honesty and sincerity. I hope for a
decision to pay the amount to me; in doing so, you would have done a good deed and appreciated the ⟦distress⟧. Please accept
my great thanks and respect. May you remain well.
Sincerely,
⟦illegible⟧
In view of the mentioned person's good services
and our belief in the truth of his claim, we recommend granting
the request and paying the amount to him from the community fund.
