Shamash Secondary School
New Alwiyah
Baghdad, Iraq Republic
12th March, 1961
Dear Sirs,
I am a student in Shamash Secondary School, Baghdad,
Iraq. In June 1960, I finished the fourth Form of this School and
was promoted to the fifth Form. At present I am attending the
fifth Form which, in standard, is equivalent roughly to Grade Twelve
of the American High School.
In addition, I sat in June 1960 for the General Certifi-
cate of Education examinations (G.C.E.) of the University of London,
in Classical Arabic and passed it, at the Ordinary Level.
In June 1961 I shall be sitting for the ⟦London University⟧
G.C.E. examinations in English and French languages, Physics and Pure
Mathematics at the Ordinary Level.
On October 18th, 1960, I sat for the P.S.A.T. Exam. given
by the College Entrance Examinations Board of Box 592, Princeton,
New Jersey, U.S.A., through their Examination Centre in Baghdad. On
March 18th, 1961, I shall be taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test and
the Achievement Tests, which are given by the same Board, in the three
following subjects - Intermediate Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
In June 1961, I shall be sitting for the Iraq State
Baccalaureate Examination for Secondary Education, Scientific Section,
in which I am confident of passing this examination in due course.
I am very much interested in joining your College to
read for a B.Sc. Degree in Civil Engineering or Secretarial. I would
like, therefore, to apply from now for admission to your College for
the session commencing September 1961.
I shall be much obliged if you will send me the necessary
application Forms as soon as possible.
Thanking you in anticipation and hoping to hear from
you soon,
I beg to remain, Dear Sirs,
Yours faithfully,
Eddie Victor Elia Shaoul
