Your letter No. 12503 dated 21 / 5 / 1958
It has appeared, as a result of referring to the records of the appointment process of Mrs. Marie Antoinette Michel, a French language teacher
at Frank Iny Private Elementary School, that the copy of her school certificate, based on which the appointment was made,
was issued by the French Consulate in Alexandria; however, it was not certified by it so that it could be relied upon and accepted
in accordance with the procedures and instructions issued in this regard. Based on the above, we return to you the original copy of the certificate
mentioned in the educational IDs belonging to her. Please notify the school administration of this and take this aspect
into consideration so that we may subsequently certify the IDs in question. In the event that the copy of the certificate
mentioned above is not certified by the competent French authorities, her appointment order will be canceled in accordance with the provisions of the regulations.
