Baghdad on 6/20/1961 His Excellency, the Chairman of the Schools Committee, respected. Greetings; I am the student Samir Shaul Hakham Sassoon. First - I have completed the fifth preparatory year - Scientific Branch - at Baghdad College this summer; and I was among the outstanding students in my class. Second - I also participated in the recent Ministerial Examination for preparatory studies, and although the results have not yet appeared, I am confident of passing this exam. Third - I previously participated in the entrance exams for American universities, SAT AND ACHIEVEMENT TESTS, and I obtained good grades in these exams. Finally, I have obtained the necessary admission to enroll in one of the colleges in London next September to attend one preparatory year and participate in the G.C.E. exams at the Advanced Level ( ADVANCED LEVEL ) in preparation for my entry into one of the universities in England. Therefore, in view of my strong desire to complete my higher studies in England and my inability to complete that at my own expense; I ask your respected committee to consider granting me the necessary study expenses to obtain a degree of ( B.Sc. ) in Engineering, similar to what was arranged in previous years where some students were sent to study at the expense of the community administration. Thank you, sir. ⟦signature⟧ The Student Samir Shaul Hakham Sassoon
