Dear Honorable Citizen:
We are pleased to inform you that we have established a sports club in
Baghdad, aiming to spread the sporting spirit among the Iraqi
youth to prepare a generation capable of bearing social responsibilities and the demands of life in terms of
service and sacrifice to raise the health and cultural standards.
It is no secret to you that such vital
establishments cannot stand on ⟦their feet⟧ unless supported by full
cooperation and solidarity in work, and therefore we appeal to your high spirit and noble
idea to contribute by extending a helping hand with some of what your
generous hands provide, and by doing so, you will have performed a national service for this
national project.
