Honorable Mr. President
Subject: The community's share of the painting expenses for Rima Khadoori Hospital
Greetings,
An agreement was reached with the Directorate of Public Health to paint Rima Khadoori Hospital, provided that the ⟦illegible⟧
mentioned pays one hundred and sixty Dinars, and the community presidency pays a sum of fifteen Dinars only. However, we have made
a second agreement with the painter to complete the painting with the amount received from the Directorate of Public Health if possible. Now,
the painter has informed us that completing the work requires the payment of the fifteen Dinars, and this was confirmed by Dr. Naeem Rabie.
Therefore, we kindly request approval to disburse fifteen Dinars to complete the painting.
