To the Honorable Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Community, Baghdad
I, the undersigned, Yaqub son of Yusuf, a period of ⟦...⟧ has passed
unemployed, and I do not know any trade except driving cars
but I do not have a driving license. Therefore, I submitted a petition to the Directorate of
⟦Traffic⟧ Police to obtain a certificate of no criminal record, and I underwent the medical examination
successfully, but I am in need of expenses. As I mentioned above, I am unemployed
and I have no money, and obtaining the license without your assistance is impossible. I request from your Excellency
to help me with the amount, and I thank you. May you remain safe.
