His Eminence Rabbi Sassoon Khaddouri, respected Head of the Community
Greetings and respect,
Subject: In view of my health condition, which is worsening day by day, I feel unable to continue my work,
especially since my wife and children are outside Iraq, and I feel very anxious about their absence from me. Therefore, I request you to kindly approve
my resignation from service. I thank Your Eminence for your fatherly kindness, and I also thank the respected Committee for its assistance to me. My final request is
to kindly grant me a gratuity for my services and assistance to manage my travel expenses, as I have decided to travel outside Iraq after
leaving the service. I thank you in advance.
The Petitioner,
Sion Heskel Murekh
