His Excellency, the Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Israelite Community, respected
I, Moshe Sion Shalo, have rented the car numbered 7189 Baghdad to the Presidency of the Israelite
Community to send the necessities belonging to the prisoners of Nuqrat al-Salman. Since I had dealt with
the secretary for a load of only half a ton, but afterwards the load turned out to be a ton and a half, and the car
was running half a ton and not for such loads that appeared later, this caused damage to my car,
damaged its tires, and broke my car's wheel, and the damage is estimated at 23 Dinars. Therefore, I hope from Your Excellency
to kindly assist me and remove the excuse from me, and to you thanks and great respect.
