Explanation
Official relations between people are arranged through documents called official papers. The tarjimayi hol is one of them: a person tells his or her life and activity in the first person. It includes the full name, date and place of birth, family, schooling, interests, address, date and signature. An ariza is written to an official person or institution with a request. It shows to whom, from whom, the word Ariza, the text of the request, the date and the signature. The last sentence of an ariza usually ends with so‘rayman or iltimos qilaman.
