To the Honorable President of the Israelite Community - Baghdad
After greetings and respect,
It is no secret to you that my past deeds are known to everyone, as I used to do everything in my power to help anyone
who requested assistance, whether financial or with government departments that I could manage. I used to rent the Shatt Coffeehouse
from the community for an annual sum of 1,000 Dinars, in addition to several other coffeehouses. My financial situation was good, and I used to help the poor
and the hospital whenever I was asked or even without being asked. You may inquire with Mr. Munir Dankour or others. Now my funds have been exhausted,
as I have sold all my furniture and other belongings. Since I have decided to deport only my family, consisting of my wife and four children
(two adults and two minors), I have come requesting your assistance in deporting them. To your Excellency, further greetings and respect.
