His Excellency the Honorable Minister of Justice
I have submitted a telegram to your office in which I explained my situation and presented a final appeal for justice, law, and procedure, as
an alimony lawsuit was filed against me in the Israelite Court in Baghdad, formed under the presidency of ⟦Salman Hawki⟧, and I was notified of the day
of the hearing. Since I was traveling in the outskirts of Amarah, I was unable to attend at the appointed time.
A period of time passed, and suddenly the Execution Department notified me of the necessity to execute a judgment presented by the plaintiff ⟦for the collection⟧ and based on
a false notification. Since I was not notified of the judgment in absentia and did not ⟦sign⟧ a notification receipt, it must be that
the notification receipt attached to the judgment was forged and my signature was imitated on it. Since these actions
contradict the procedures and violate the law, I beg for an investigation into the case and to deter such
persons who have been given authority and are abusing it in this manner.
I am awaiting your justice, and I thank you.
Copy to the Head of the Israelite Community in Baghdad
Copy to the Baghdad Execution Presidency to suspend
the proceedings until the outcome.

His Excellency the Honorable Minister of Justice
I had submitted to Your Excellency a petition in which I explained a situation that occurred in a manner contrary to justice,
law, and procedure, as an alimony lawsuit was filed against me in the Jewish Court in
Baghdad, formed under the presidency of Salman Hoki. I was notified of the hearing date, and since I was a teacher in
the Mosul Education Department, I was unable to attend at the appointed time. After some time passed, the
Execution Department notified me of the necessity to execute a judgment presented by the plaintiff, along with a notification receipt attributed to me.
Since I was not notified of the default judgment and did not sign a notification receipt, the notification
receipt attached to the judgment must be forged, and my signature on it must have been imitated. Since these actions
contradict the procedures and violate the law, I request an investigation into the case and the deterrence of such
persons who have been given authority and are abusing it in this manner.
I am obedient to your command and waiting.

Al-Shirqat in Mosul
