The Honorable Professor, Director of Frank Iny School, Respected
Greetings and respect,
I thank you for your letter dated 18 / 4 / 50 informing me about the situation of
the student, my son Obada. Yes, I want him not to surrender, but
we hate taking lessons, and I, for my part, have for a long time been urging
him, especially after the arrival of your above letter, and no one knows fear or warning
as to whether his character has improved, or if in fact he was negligent in his studies
and greatly negligent in attendance and his class periods at the present time.
You are in the position of a father; I hope you do not give him room to waste his time,
if that is possible, through your guidance and advice to realize students who
have not yet realized what is in their future. Please accept my respect and peace.
Sincerely, Ibrahim Razzouk
