His Excellency the Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Community, Respected
After greetings and respect,
The matter: Your respected committee has previously decided to allocate an amount of 15 Dinars for my travel with my husband
Aboudi Murad Cohen abroad. We have not received the mentioned amount until now due to its smallness, as it is not enough for the two of us for
our travel expenses. Since our imprisoned son has finished his sentence and will travel very soon, we have decided to travel with him
now. We request you to kindly increase the assistance for our travel, as you know that my husband is ill and the weekly allocations will stop
upon our travel. Therefore, perhaps you will take these allocations into consideration and decide on the assistance according to your conscience. Respectfully yours.
