Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Position] [Name of the Court] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to request a release from jury duty for the forthcoming trial, scheduled to begin on [start date], as I am facing significant financial hardship that would be exacerbated by serving on the jury. I understand the importance of jury duty and the role it plays in upholding justice. However, I find myself in an exceptionally difficult financial situation which prevents me from fulfilling this civic duty at this time. Allow me to provide you with a detailed account of my circumstances. Since I received the jury summons, I have been dealing with overwhelming financial burdens. [Explain your financial hardships in detail, including any relevant information such as excessive medical bills, significant debt, unemployment, divorce, or caring for elderly family members.] These circumstances have caused severe financial strain on me and my family, making it impossible for me to take unpaid time off from work. Serving on a jury would lead to a loss of income, which would further amplify my already precarious situation. [Include any supporting evidence such as recent pay stubs, bank statements, or letters from creditors, to demonstrate the severity of your financial difficulties.] I assure you that this is not a decision I take lightly. I fully comprehend the importance of participating in the judicial system, but my current financial obligations and hardships make it challenging for me to fulfill my financial responsibilities, let alone serve on a jury. Therefore, I kindly request that you consider my situation and grant me an exemption from jury duty. I trust that the court will understand my predicament and the potential consequences for my family should I be unable to fulfill my financial obligations. I am more than willing to provide any additional information or documents to support my request. Please let me know if there is anything else you require to process my plea for an exemption. Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter. I appreciate your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name]
