Sir,
My sister, named Saida daughter of Heskel, has suffered a mental breakdown and has been
detained for two months in the hospital for the mentally ill. Since it has become necessary to appoint a guardian over her to protect her rights
and manage her affairs, I request, after investigating my capability, to be appointed as her guardian. This is for your command, Sir.

The Petition
My husband, Daoud Nassim Hakkak, passed away at his appointed time on October 24,
1937, leaving behind his minor children Nassim and Sassoon and his minor daughter Masouda.
And since the aforementioned minors need someone to manage their affairs and protect their rights,
and since I am their mother and their rights concern me more than anyone else, I request my appointment as their guardian, and with respect to you.

Subject
I submit to your Excellency the report prepared in the Al-Shall neighborhood
mentioned above. Since the commissioner has betrayed his trust, I request the obtaining of a
legal fatwa from the Jewish Religious Court in Baghdad concerning the legal heirs
who are entitled to the inheritance according to Jewish law, because
my client, the wife of the deceased, and the wife of the deceased are of Iranian nationality.
A fatwa has previously been obtained in another case similar to this one.
Please accept my highest respect.
