Dear [Supervisor's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance in releasing me from my jury duty obligations due to a financial hardship that I am currently facing. As we know, jury duty is an important civic duty that allows individuals like myself to contribute to the justice system. However, at this time, I am facing significant financial strain that would make it extremely challenging for me to fulfill my jury duty responsibilities. Maine's law allows individuals to be exempted from jury service if it causes extreme financial hardship. According to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 14, Section 1205, "Any person who shall show to the court or justice, by affidavit or otherwise, that his circumstances are such as to afford reasonable grounds for belief that such service will cause extreme financial hardship to him or any person or persons primarily dependent upon him for support, ...shall be exempt from service." As you know, my financial situation has been strained for the past several months. I am the sole provider for my family, and we are currently struggling to make ends meet. I am already working additional hours and exploring every available opportunity to improve our financial situation. Serving on a jury for an extended period would further exacerbate our difficulties and potentially put my family in a vulnerable position. Given these circumstances, I kindly request that you provide your support and help me secure a release from jury duty. I understand the importance of this civic duty, but at this moment, it is just not financially feasible for me to fulfill it without causing further harm to my family's stability. I have attached relevant documents, including bank statements and proof of financial hardship, to substantiate the current state of my finances. Furthermore, I am more than willing to provide any additional information or attend a meeting to discuss this matter further if needed. Furthermore, I truly appreciate your understanding and consideration of my situation. Your support will not only relieve me of the added burden but also enable me to better focus on my work responsibilities during this challenging time. Should you require any additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your attention and support.
