Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews in Baghdad Telephone 83531 Number L/: 717 / 79 Date: 2 / 9 / 1971 Subject/: Attestation The Respected Director of Rusafa Real Estate Tax Greetings, We were notified on 30/8/1971 by your letter No. 8005 dated 24/8/1971 regarding the fixing of the rental value of the property numbered 1 D / 131, Qanbar Ali neighborhood. We would like to inform you that the mentioned property includes a staircase and a roof with an area exceeding 120 square meters built over four shops. The staircase and the roof are used as a warehouse, as stated in the lease agreement attached herewith. It appears that the appraisal committee estimated the rental value of the staircase only, without paying attention to the roof as stipulated in the lease agreement. Since this appraisal was unfair, I am filing this appeal in accordance with Article Seven of the Real Estate Lease Law of 1971. Please refer it to the special audit committee to review the appraisal and annul it, and to re-evaluate the rental value of the mentioned property in accordance with right, justice, and fairness. Please accept our highest respect. Naji Chachak Chairman of the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews Attachments: A copy of the lease agreement. A copy of the attestation.
