The Israeli Community in Baghdad Telephone No. 3531 5452 Subject No. 54/3409/0 Date 20/8/1954 Honorable Notary Public North Baghdad It is stated that the endowment of Benjamin Shamash Secondary School is a charitable endowment for the Israeli community in Baghdad, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the Israeli Community Law No. 77 of 1931, the head of the body council of the Israeli community is the administrator of such endowments upon the dissolution of the school. We have been informed that the administrator of the aforementioned endowment, Youssef Shamash, has relinquished his administration to his son, Saleh, and this has become the head of the Anglo-Jewish Society in London to manage the aforementioned endowment. The latter also in turn has appointed the late Mr. Heskel Dard Shamtob with a power of attorney from the London Notary Public No. 367 dated 20/7/953, registered in your department No. 12443 dated 1/12/954, and that the aforementioned Mr. Heskel Daoud Shamloub, who is wanted in his lifetime, has appointed the two lawyers, Mr. Salman Sheikh Daoud and Mr. Shaul Musa, pursuant to the power of attorney certified by your department, No. 12444, dated 1/12/1954. Please provide us with a certified copy of the two powers of attorney mentioned above, for the community’s relationship with them in terms of the aforementioned appointment. This is with your honor, and I respectfully request Rabbi Sasson Khadouri, head of the Israeli community, to act as proxy.
