Letter from an Unknown Woman (Arabic: رسالة من امرأة مجهولة, transliterated as Ressalah min emraa maghoula) is an Egyptian film released on October 22, 1962.
He remains a deceptively lonely bachelor despite the efforts of associates such as Dr. Monem (Abdel Moneim Ibrahim) and Nevin (Laila Karim) to make marriage matches for him.
On his birthday, Ahmed receives a lengthy letter he would have thrown away save for a note on the envelope saying it reveals an unknown secret in his life, and so he promptly reads what turns out to be a missive from a girl named Amal (Lobna Abdel Aziz), a former neighbor who peeped at him from her window.
Amal’s mother Khadija (Mary Mounib), marries a man named Umar Mahfouz Yaqoub Mikhail, and they move to Mansoura.
Amal finishes her studies and fields a proposal from Hosni (Kamal el-Zeiny), but she dismisses her suitor and travels to Cairo to live with her aunt Fatima (Amina Rizk) and work at an insurer.
