Honorable Director General of Posts and Telegraphs

Greetings,
Since the director of the Ezra Menahem Daniel Stadium is in dire need of a telephone so that coaches and workers at
the stadium can contact him in urgent emergency cases, and since the stadium is under the supervision of this Presidency, we would be pleased
if you would kindly approve the installation of a telephone in the house of the director, Mr. Yaqub Elisha Shohet, located in Karrada Al-Sharqiya,
Arsat Al-Hindiya No. 383 A, Ibn Hayyan School Street in Baghdad. We are hopeful that you will kindly approve

Colonel Shabib Ahmed
Chairman of the Telephone Installation Committee
Baghdad
After greetings,
Last February, we submitted a petition to install a telephone in
the house of the Council Secretariat, requested by Bahra Dhale', and it was registered under number
981 and followed up on 1/4/1960. Since a large ⟦illegible⟧
of the applicants have obtained the requested telephones, we
contacted the Central Telephone Directorate and did not receive a result
despite the passage of about ten months since submitting the petition.
Since the installation of the telephone is necessary, we would be pleased if you would kindly
order the installation of a telephone in the house numbered 1282
in Al-Hindiya in Karrada Al-Sharqiya in the name of
Yaqub Al-Bayaa ⟦illegible⟧ and our receipt is accepted, and with
thanks.
