To the honorable Chief Rabbi of the Jewish community in Baghdad, may God protect him
I, the undersigned, have been serving at the Rima Kadoorie Eye Hospital for
several years, and my salary is very low and is not sufficient
to support my many family members, and I am also sick and old and have no
strength to work anymore, and I wish to leave the job and rest
from my hard labor, and therefore I request from the honorable Chief
Rabbi that he would kindly give me a certificate testifying to
the years of my service in the aforementioned hospital and also a recommendation to
the Community Committee so that they may allocate me a monthly pension or
a one-time grant so that I can live on it for the remainder
of my life, for I have no other source of livelihood and I
am sure that the honorable Chief Rabbi will not turn me away empty-handed
and will help me in this difficult situation.
With thanks in advance and with great respect

After inquiring after the peace of his eminence's majesty and Torah
I hereby come to inform his honored Torah eminence that
I am poor and needy and have no livelihood at all
And lacking everything, and I am also sick and have no one
Who can help me, and I also have a wife and small
Children and I have nothing with which to support them, and also
The house I live in belongs to the Hekdesh (charitable trust)
And I have nothing with which to pay the rent, and also
I have been working at the Rima Kadoorie Hospital
For several years and my salary is very
Small and is not sufficient for me and my household
For meager bread and scant water, and therefore I
Request of his honored Torah eminence to have pity and mercy on me
And on my household and give me some assistance
Or to add something to my salary
So that I may be able to live with
My household because the situation is very tight
And the cost of living continues to rise and I have no
Help from any side or corner except
From the Blessed Name and from his eminence's majesty and Torah
That he may have pity and mercy on me and on my household
And the merit of this mitzvah shall stand for him
And for all his household forever, Amen
