Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship
Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a release from jury duty service due to severe financial hardship. As an employee of [Company Name], fulfilling my duties as a juror would impose a significant burden on me and my family. Therefore, I would like to request your assistance in considering my circumstances and granting me an exemption. Firstly, I want to emphasize my utmost respect for our legal system and the importance of jury service. However, I believe it is necessary to highlight the financial strain I am currently facing. As an employee, my regular attendance at work is crucial for meeting my financial obligations, supporting my family, and maintaining stability. Colorado recognizes the weight and significance of financial hardship when evaluating jury duty release requests. According to Colorado Revised Statutes Section 13-71-104, individuals facing undue financial hardship may be excused from jury service. Therefore, I kindly request that you consider my situation and grant me a release from jury duty. To provide you with a clearer understanding of my financial situation, it is imperative to outline my current circumstances. Due to unforeseen medical expenses and other financial obligations, my monthly budget is stretched to its limit. Any absence from work, even for a few days, could potentially jeopardize my ability to meet my financial responsibilities and maintain stability for my family. The loss of income from my absence could impact my ability to pay for essential expenses such as rent, utilities, groceries, health insurance premiums, and transportation costs. Additionally, it may negatively affect my credit score, making it even more challenging to regain financial stability in the future. To support my request for release from jury duty based on financial hardship, I have attached supporting documentation, including bank statements, proof of expenses, and any other relevant financial records. These documents provide a clear picture of my current financial situation and validate the importance of my employment for me and my dependents. I understand that jury duty is a civic duty that citizens are expected to fulfill. If circumstances were different, I would be eager to contribute to the judicial process. However, given the current financial strain I am under, I respectfully request that you grant me a release from jury duty. By doing so, I can continue to fulfill my obligations as an employee, maintain financial stability, and support my family without disruption. Thank you for understanding the difficult situation I find myself in and for your consideration of my request. I am more than willing to provide any additional information or discuss the matter further if needed. I respectfully request a prompt response to allow me sufficient time to adjust my personal and financial arrangements accordingly. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Other Identifying Information] [Contact Information]
