Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship ā [Employee's Name] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Current Date] [Recipient's Name] [Court Jury Services] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to request an exemption from jury duty as an employee of [Company Name]. Due to severe financial hardship caused by various unfavorable circumstances, I find it impossible to fulfill my jury duty obligations at this time. I kindly request your assistance and understanding in granting my release from this duty. As an honest and law-abiding citizen, I genuinely understand the importance of serving on a jury and appreciate the crucial role it plays in our justice system. However, my current financial situation prevents me from fulfilling my obligations without facing severe consequences and detrimental impacts on both my personal and professional life. To provide you with some background, I would like to clarify the nature of my financial hardship. [Explain the specific circumstances causing your financial hardship ā for instance, loss of a secondary income, medical expenses, supporting dependents, or significant debts]. These unexpected financial burdens have put me in an extremely challenging position, leaving me unable to meet my basic needs and maintain stability in my life. Given this predicament, serving on a jury would exacerbate my financial struggles, as it would require me to take unpaid leave from work for an extended period. As my primary source of income, any period of absence from work would result in significant financial losses, making it even more challenging for me to meet essential financial obligations such as rent, utilities, and other necessities. Moreover, my request for release is not out of a desire to evade jury duty but rather due to the genuine financial hardship that would result in long-lasting consequences if not addressed adequately. I assure you that, once my financial situation stabilizes, I will be more than willing to fulfill my civic duty and serve on a jury voluntarily. To support my request, I have enclosed copies of relevant financial documents, including [provide the list of documents, such as pay stubs, rent receipts, medical bills, or letters from creditors]. These documents further substantiate the severity of my financial hardship and disclose sensitive personal information solely for the purpose of evaluating my request for release from jury duty. I understand that the court values the importance of each individual's presence during jury duty and therefore, I would be willing to provide any alternative assistance that may be requested, such as providing a reliable replacement juror or participating in other civic duties that do not cause severe financial strain. I genuinely appreciate your attention to my request. You're understanding and consideration in granting my release from jury duty will alleviate the undue financial burden I am currently facing. If you require any further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name]
