The implications noted re:

the "box lettering" and

the peculiar slant of the lettering (Arabic is a left-to-right written language, of course),

the use of the European-Middle Eastern for m of the number "1" and

the idiomatic awkwardness of his language ("can not" vs. "cannot"),

all suggest a possible to likely Middle East/ Arabic-language, non-US raised citizen tie.

I disagree. I think the numerals show that he is Western raised, from at least high school level. I agree that the 1 is funky (we just use a straight line in this country), but the European 1 does not have the "base," which he strangely included. In European handwriting, there is just the 7-appearing straight line with "roof" slanting down on the left side.

His 7 is VERY American. From anywhere else, it would have a perpendicular cross-line through it midway.

His 9 is also very American; in Europe it would curve to the left at bottom but here in the States it is straight on the bottom.
