Greetings and Respect
The matter presented is not hidden from you, that I teach students in schools
daily from eight o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock.
But when Mr. Saleh Khadouri, the third teacher,
who teaches from ten o'clock until eleven-thirty, fell ill,
his teaching hours were placed upon my shoulders, since 7/10/955
until 14/10/955, and therefore I have written this letter of mine, requesting your kindness
in allocating the amount you deem appropriate for my performance of the aforementioned person's duties
due to his absence, and because I worked extra hours beyond my assigned duties.
With further greetings and respect to your Excellency.
Sincerely,
Daoud Kashi / Baghdad 21 / 11 / 1955
