Based on the above, and since the ⟦illegible⟧ endowed properties
the assets in the Tabu registers and since the endower died ⟦illegible⟧ 75
1- Please kindly request the cancellation of the dropped inheritance share of the deceased endower, the late
Rafqa Touriel ⟦illegible⟧ as Law No. 61 of 1926 does not apply and therefore the
a woman of Ottoman affiliation transforms
the status to ⟦illegible⟧ <del>died process</del> she died in 1898.
2- The endowed property registered in sequence 256/19 in the name of ⟦illegible⟧
and also registered in the Tabu records for the year 1961 is a replacement for the deed of ownership
sequence 1284/8 Bab al-Agha and endowed in the year 1212 AH according to the endowment deed
In this case, this property is considered endowed based on the aforementioned deed issued
with the permission of the Personal Status Court in Baghdad referred to above.
3- There is no relationship between the Torah and the endower Rafqa Touriel and the endowed properties
as these properties that were allocated for the endowment were removed from
the ownership of the endower from the date of its endowment, i.e., the year ⟦illegible⟧ according to
the year 1212. Accordingly, there is no relationship to the frozen funds and therefore there is no
basis for any relationship between the frozen funds and this endowment.
Please accept the highest expressions of respect

The Honorable Director General of Civil Status
Greetings and Respect
⟦illegible⟧
We have appointed a representative for the trustee of the ⟦Noreil⟧ endowments, son of the late Rifka Nouraiel
⟦That⟧ we informed you <del>of the cancellation</del> <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> public that the late Rifka Nouraiel had acquired ownership
under the endowment deed ⟦dated⟧ in ⟦...⟧ and dated in ⟦...⟧ the year 1962
We wish to provide your excellence with the following information service :- in Baghdad

and dated in ⟦...⟧ (attached is a copy of the endowment deed and its translation)
3- It is established in the endowment deed that the trustee of the endowment is ⟦...⟧ and after him
Salih or the head of the Alliance Society in Paris. And from the day of her death
until now, these endowments are managed by the head of the Alliance Society in Paris
4- The current trustee is Mr. ⟦...⟧ Rabbi
currently and he is ⟦...⟧ at the same time as he was the head of the Alliance Society
⟦...⟧ Nouraiel Quarter ⟦...⟧ Human Rights Association schools
which is in ⟦...⟧ Nouraiel Quarter safely, and he was himself a trustee and
a vice president of the Court of Cassation in the Ottoman State
5- His representative is Mr. Abboud Bashi. Attached is a copy of the power of attorney in the
foreign language with its translation.
219, 220, 221 in Wadi al-Ruhban
6- That the property sequence 259/219 in the Niyaabah in the property of the master was the trustee's representative
had purchased it and registered it as an endowment of the Rifka Nouraiel endowments from the amounts resulting from
the expropriation of the property ⟦...⟧ according to the deed issued by the Personal Status Court

Based on the above and given that ⟦illegible⟧ the daily account
attached to Rifqa and registered in the name of the Sabu ⟦illegible⟧ <del>deceased</del> owner of
the endowment has died more than ⟦illegible⟧ ago <del>according to the Sharia</del>
<del>distribution numbered ⟦illegible⟧ on ⟦illegible⟧ and certified</del>
<del>⟦line⟧</del>
<del>1- The endowment status should not ⟦illegible⟧</del>
1- <del>Kindly request the dropping of</del> canceling the dropping of the late endower Rifqa Nourail
<del>registered in the book</del> official books regarding the endower ⟦illegible⟧ as it is inconceivable
that ⟦illegible⟧ be registered in the name of a personality that has no existence as it is inconceivable
an Iraqi woman in about the year 1900
the eighties number 161 for the year 1962 on the budget of ⟦illegible⟧ 7/219 by club
2- Verifying that the endowment, the endowed property registered in the Tabu in the year
1921 is the occupation of the property of the expropriated before 6/24/1984 in the name of
the endowed thousands ⟦illegible⟧ 1212 Hijri and its equivalent in the year 1895 AD
and that is according to the organized Sharia deed ⟦illegible⟧ and accordingly
this property has been stripped from the endower <del>and it is not a Sharia duty</del>
when the endowment deed was issued, i.e., 78 years ago. So there is
no room ⟦illegible⟧ for the frozen conditions to be related to it.
Respectfully yours,
