Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship
Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty Due to Financial Hardship Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your kind assistance regarding a matter that has recently arisen. I have been summoned to serve on a jury for a trial in the [Hawaii] court, which is scheduled to commence on [date]. However, due to unforeseen financial circumstances, I am unable to fulfill this obligation without causing significant hardship for myself and my family. As you are aware, fulfilling my responsibilities as a juror requires taking time off from work, which will result in an immediate loss of income. Additionally, the duration of the trial, which is estimated to span several weeks, will pose a significant financial burden considering I will not be able to supplement my reduced income during this period. Given the current economic challenges I am facing, it would be extremely difficult for me to meet my financial obligations, including rent, utility bills, and other necessary expenses, if I am unable to work during this time. I have attempted to explore all possible options to manage this situation, such as seeking alternate sources of income or borrowing funds from family and friends. Unfortunately, these efforts have proven unsuccessful, leaving me with no other viable alternatives to secure my financial stability at the moment. I wholeheartedly understand the importance of civic duty and the role jurors play in the legal system. I am fully committed to being an upstanding citizen and participating in the judicial process when financially feasible. However, under the present circumstances, I kindly request your support and assistance in obtaining a release from jury duty. I have attached the official jury summons I received from the [Hawaii] court for your reference. If necessary, I am more than willing to provide any additional documentation or information that can further substantiate my financial hardship. I assure you that I will promptly inform and update you if my financial situation improves, allowing me to serve on a jury without enduring financial strain. Until then, I kindly request your understanding and support in seeking a release from my jury duty obligation. Thank you for considering my request. I truly appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to discussing it further in person at your earliest convenience. Please be assured that, regardless of the outcome, my commitment to my employment and fulfilling all my work responsibilities remains unwavering. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID or other identifying information] [Contact Information] [Date]
