With reference to property tax assessment notice No. 48, Volume 1, notified to us on 21 / 1 / 1960
Since the presidency of the Administrative Committee of this community had leased the two properties with door numbers 443 NY / 1 and 443 C 2 / 1
located in the Al-Sinak district - which are the same two properties with numbers 443 Y / 1 and 443 C / 1 as they are registered in
the attached lease agreement - under a single contract to Mr. Muhammad Salim Ibrahim for an annual rent amount of 1350/- Dinars
for the two mentioned properties combined, and since the assessment mentioned in the notice referred to above is 1200/- Dinars
for the first property and 500/- Dinars for the second property, we therefore request you to kindly reduce the assessment to the actual amount of
1350/- Dinars. We enclose herewith a copy of the lease agreement for your review.
