Greetings,
The Presidency of the Jewish Community in Erbil informed us by its letter dated February 16, 1951, that
it has 514 forms belonging to the Jews of Erbil whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked, and we have requested the
Citizenship Revocation and Deportation Committee to conduct the necessary examinations to deport them immediately (via our letter No. T / 51/1728
dated 2/21/1951) after receiving their full fees, including the transport fees for their poor, i.e., without any financial assistance
provided by the committee to them. However, the aforementioned committee did not respond to the request and took no action.
In view of the financial situation of these persons and what results from their lack of ⟦ability⟧ to spend their transport fees on
supporting their families, we hope that what is necessary will be done to transport the mentioned persons outside Iraq according to the prices that
were agreed upon with the presidency of this community, which are:-

Greetings,
We refer to you a copy of the petition submitted by the Jews of Al-Hayy District, in which it appears
that about nine months have passed since the date these individuals signed the application forms
for the renunciation of Iraqi citizenship, and the approval of the esteemed Council of Ministers has not yet been issued. Since their conditions
are now very poor, we request that the necessary measures be taken with the competent departments to approve
their renunciation and deportation.

After greetings,
We are a group of residents of the neighborhood who renounced our Iraqi citizenship nearly nine months ago without the Council of
Ministers approving our renunciation forms. Since our financial situation is very weak and we cannot bear the necessary expenses for the minimum
standard of living, in addition to the many harassments we encounter from the townspeople, we request you to kindly take the necessary measures to expedite the completion of our transactions and our deportation
as soon as possible. It is worth noting that what we saved for airfare, we have begun spending on our livelihood, and it is not hidden from Your Excellency
the health and economic damages this delay brings us.
Please, Your Excellency, accept our highest regards and respects.

months ago without the Council of Ministers approving our renunciation forms, and since our financial
situation is very weak and we cannot bear the necessary expenses for the lowest standard of living,
in addition to the many harassments we face from the people of the town, we hope you will consider
informing us and notifying us to expedite the completion of our processing and our deportation as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that what we saved for airfare has begun to be depleted for our living expenses,

We, the employees and staff of the Jewish Community, numbering about one hundred, have
been afflicted by our dismissal from our jobs following the revocation of our Iraqi citizenships after the issuance of the law
freezing the assets of Jews whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked. Since we have become in an
unbearable state of economic hardship under such difficult circumstances after
the cutting of our salaries, we have submitted this petition of ours, hoping your Excellency will expedite
our travel at the earliest possible opportunity, as the government and private companies have done
with their employees who revoked their Iraqi citizenships.
