After greetings, The cemetery belonging to the leadership of this community located in the Al-Kulat neighborhood with sequence 142/226; we have previously submitted a request to your department to demarcate and fence it with iron bars; indeed, a commissioned engineer from your department attended and carried out the demarcation and the bars were constructed according to the system established by the aforementioned engineer. And now, the Veterinary Department has constructed a building on the land adjacent to the mentioned cemetery, and by this means, the constructed iron bars were uprooted and they entered the cemetery land at a depth of approximately one and a half meters along the length of the hexagonal front of the cemetery. Therefore, we request that you instruct your department's engineer to inspect and establish the boundaries according to the map of the cemetery so that the Veterinary Department can complete the construction of the building according to accurate boundaries. Please accept our highest respect. ⟦signature⟧ On behalf of the Acting Head of the Community Issued
