You had occupied the building of the Edouard Abboudi Shelter based on the agreement reached between us and you to evacuate
it of refugees and house them in the Laura Kadoorie School located in the Taura neighborhood on the condition that you undertake to pay
its rent for the duration of your occupation of the aforementioned building.
Accordingly, we see that your letter referred to above is contrary to the agreement reached between us previously. We request
payment of the rent according to the past year. Or evacuate the Edouard Abboudi Shelter so that we can have it occupied by
the refugees who were granted the right to occupy it as long as they are in Iraq and without rent, and we cannot in this
case agree to pay the aforementioned rent due to the lack of the necessary credit in the budget of the Directorate
General of Social Services. And it is contrary to the request for the agreement reached between us.

Reference to the communication ending with your letter No. 18518 dated 8/12/952
We previously agreed with the Ministry of Education for them to occupy the Edward Aboudi Shelter, which was donated to Palestinian refugees
the right to reside in it without rent for the duration of their stay in Iraq, provided that the Ministry of Education
rents a building at its own expense. So, it rented for us the Laura Kadoorie School building for an annual rent of (5000)
thousand Dinars.
Then the Ministry of Education informed us by its letter No. 42320 dated 10/12/952 that it had purchased the building
of Edward Aboudi through the auction announced in the Baghdad Court of First Instance, and it was registered in the name of the mentioned Ministry and charged us
with paying the rent if we wished to continue occupying the other building (Laura Kadoorie School).
Accordingly, please kindly approve the payment of the rent, calculated against Article 15 of Chapter
58 C, and kindly inform us as soon as possible.
