Greetings,
With reference to the letter numbered Q / 19118 and dated 9/25/1972 received by us
from the Rusafa Property Tax Directorate (copy attached herewith) regarding the construction of an upper room
in the tax headquarters, we would like to inform your esteemed directorate that the net rental value of the mentioned building
leased by your general directorate is 712/- Dinars annually.
What the committee spent on this building for a period of two years amounted to 2,216/160
Dinars according to the attached list, and the net amount received by the committee from the rent for this period is
1,854/- Dinars.
Since this property is a charitable endowment (waqf) and the trustee is the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews,
duty calls it to set aside the endowment's yield to be spent on the entity designated in the endowment deed.
Accordingly, if the Rusafa Property Tax Directorate wishes for this room to remain, please
order the formation of a committee to inspect the building and estimate the appropriate compensation for it to preserve the interest of the endowment
and the public interest.
Please accept our highest respect.

Regarding the ⟦school⟧ building belonging to the Rusafa Real Estate Tax Directorate
