Subject: Employee Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Court Name and Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter of utmost importance regarding my recent summons for jury duty in [Court Name], which is scheduled to commence on [Jury Duty Date]. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for the democratic privilege of participating in the justice system as a juror. I understand the significance of serving on a jury and the role it plays in upholding the principles of fairness and impartiality. However, I find myself in a difficult financial situation that raises concern about my ability to fulfill this civic duty without causing undue hardship to myself and my family. As an employee of [Company Name], I wanted to bring this matter to your attention so that we may explore possible alternatives that would alleviate the financial burden I am facing. Outlined below are the reasons that necessitate my request for a release from jury duty due to financial hardship: 1. Financial Constraints: Due to unexpected financial obligations, such as medical expenses, housing repairs, and educational fees, my financial resources have been significantly strained. Fulfilling my jury duty obligations would lead to the loss of income during that period and subsequently exacerbate my current financial instability. 2. Dependents: I am the primary caregiver for my [number] dependents, including [Names and Ages]. Their financial well-being heavily relies on my ability to meet our basic needs and provide for their ongoing education and healthcare. My absence from work during jury duty would impair my capacity to fulfill these vital responsibilities. 3. Job Insecurity: My absence from work for an extended period would potentially result in job insecurity, as my duties cannot be fully covered by another employee without disrupting important ongoing projects and client deliverables. This could have negative implications for both [Company Name] and me, adding further strain to my financial situation. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, I kindly request that you consider releasing me from jury duty, allowing me to continue fulfilling my responsibilities both at work and as a provider for my family. I firmly believe that granting this request would enable me to alleviate the financial burden I am currently shouldering and uphold my obligations to those who depend on me. I am more than willing to provide any supporting documentation required to validate my financial situation, such as pay stubs, medical bills, or a statement from a financial advisor. Furthermore, I am open to alternative arrangements, such as serving on a jury at a later date, which would allow me to overcome my financial hardships and fully participate in the justice system. Thank you for considering my request with empathy and understanding. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information or any further clarification of my circumstances. I greatly appreciate your time and attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
