Mr. Director General of Revenues, Respected
Greetings:
Since the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews is unable to collect the rental fees for the majority
of the endowments under its administration due to the seizure of them by the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets (Endowments of
Menachem Daniel, Ezra Menachem Daniel, and Heskel Menachem Daniel) or because the tenants have deposited most of the fees
pertaining to other endowments with the Notary Public, and the Notary Public's refusal to hand over the deposits to us at the
present time, and since our committee has consulted the competent authorities regarding this matter, we request you to kindly order
a stay in demanding property taxes from our committee until the matter is resolved, noting that our committee's endowments fall within
the jurisdiction of the Rusafa Property Tax Directorate. Our committee will pay all taxes as soon as it is able to obtain
the rental fees.

The properties sequence numbers 321, 322, 323, 324, 319, 2 / 276, 267,
272, 20 / 326, and 179 were part of the Jewish Community cemetery in Baghdad until 40 years ago.
Since the origins of the cemetery are an endowment (waqf), we request that you inform us if these properties have become an endowment within the mentioned cemetery,
given the absence of any communication from their owners regarding their disposal throughout this period, nor even from
their heirs, noting that these properties are still registered in the Ottoman records in the names of their previous owners
who, along with their heirs, left them to the mentioned cemetery. Therefore, we request your kind approval to consider these properties
an endowment belonging to the mentioned cemetery and to register them in the name of the Jewish Community.
Please accept our highest respect.
