Mr. President,
I raise to your Excellency signs of glorification and veneration, as you are the leader of the people and the guardian of their freedoms. I present to your noble ears that our Mosaic community, which is loyal to its homeland and is an inseparable part of this people, appeals to you regarding the illegal treatment suffered by its members, especially what has occurred in the last two months regarding the freezing of Jewish citizens' funds in banks and preventing them from withdrawing any amount even for living purposes, as well as the ban on traveling outside Iraq.
The Jewish citizen who retains his nationality and resides in Iraq is prohibited from disposing of his funds and finds all obstacles preventing him from working and earning a living under the pretext of smuggling his funds abroad. There is no doubt that smuggling is legally prohibited, and no individual loyal to his homeland would accept it. However, Mr. President, I do not think you would accept using this matter as a pretext to restrict the freedom of the Jewish citizen to work, earn a living, and dispose of property. Therefore, I hope you will kindly look upon our matter with an eye of kindness and care regarding the following matters:-
1 - Allowing members of our community to work and earn a living.
2 - Allowing financial transactions, power of attorney before notaries, and withdrawals from banks.
3 - Allowing the sale of immovable property and the conduct of mortgage and pledge transactions in the real estate registration departments.
4 - Allowing the sale of cars in the traffic police departments.
5 - Preventing the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets from interfering in the affairs of Jews who retain their Iraqi nationality and reside in Iraq, as well as preventing it from seizing the endowments and properties of the Mosaic community without legal justification, because the law of the General Secretariat limits its work to managing the funds of Jews whose Iraqi nationality has been revoked.
6 - Allowing Jewish citizens to travel outside Iraq as before, just like other citizens, noting that the travel ban has included them for two and a half months.
May God protect you, Mr. President, and your noble comrades, and guide your steps toward what is for the good and happiness of the homeland.
Please accept the expression of highest glorification and respect.

Mr. President
I raise to your Excellency the signs of glorification and veneration, as you are the leader of the people and the guardian of their freedoms, and I rely on
your generous assistance that our Mosaic community, which is loyal to its homeland and is an integral part of this people,
appeals to you regarding the illegal difficulties suffered by its members, especially what has happened in the last two months
regarding the freezing of the funds of Jewish citizens in banks and preventing them from withdrawing any amount even for living purposes, as well as
the travel ban outside the country.
The independent Jewish citizen residing in Iraq is authorized to dispose of his funds and in his hand
all the obstacles that prevent him from working and earning a living under the pretext of smuggling his funds abroad. There is no doubt
that smuggling is legally prohibited and no citizen loyal to his country accepts it, but Mr. President, I do not think you would accept
taking measures to restrict the freedom of the Jewish citizen to work, earn a living, and dispose of property. Therefore, I hope
that you will kindly look upon our matter with an eye of kindness and mercy regarding the following matters:-
1 - Allowing members of our community to work and earn a living.
2 - Allowing financial transactions, power of attorney at the notary public, and withdrawals from banks.
3 - Allowing the sale of immovable property and conducting mortgage and pledge transactions in the real estate registration departments.
4 - Allowing the sale of cars in the traffic police departments.
5 - Preventing the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets from interfering in the affairs of Jews who are independent with their Iraqi nationality
and residing in Iraq, as well as preventing it from seizing the endowments and properties of the Mosaic community
without legal justification, because the law of the General Secretariat limits its work to managing the funds of Jews whose
Iraqi nationality has been revoked.
6 - Allowing Jewish citizens to travel outside Iraq like other citizens, noting
that the travel ban included them only two months ago.
May God protect you, Mr. President, and your honorable care, and guide your steps to what is in the best interest and sovereignty of the homeland.
Please accept my highest expressions of glorification and respect.

<del>The Jewish citizen who retains his nationality is prevented from</del>

So I seek from your Excellency a look into the matter
