Despite our diligent efforts, we have been unable to locate and personally serve the defendant(s) named in the lawsuit, whose addresses are unknown and cannot be ascertained with due diligence. In accordance with the Michigan Court Rules, specifically MCR 2.105 and MCR 2.107, we hereby request permission to serve the defendant(s) through publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the action is pending. This method of service is necessary to achieve proper notice and effectuate due process under the circumstances. The relevant factual background of the case is as follows: [Provide a brief overview of the case, highlighting the nature of the claims, parties involved, and any relevant dates or events]. We have made extensive efforts to locate the defendant(s) at their last known addresses through public records searches, inquiries with relatives, and consultation with professional process servers. These attempts have proven futile, as there is no current or verified address available for service. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, we kindly request that the court grant the following relief: 1. Permission to serve the defendant(s) through publications of the Summons, as prescribed by MCR 2.105, stating the nature of the action, the relief sought, the time for the defendant(s) to respond, and a warning that failure to respond may result in a default judgment being entered against them; 2. A determination that publication in a newspaper of general circulation in [County Name] constitutes proper service upon the defendant(s); and 3. Any additional orders or directions that the court deems necessary for the effective service of the defendant(s) via publication. We have enclosed the proposed form of the Summons by Publication, as required by MCR 2.107, for the court's review and approval. The proposed publication(s) will be selected from among those newspapers meeting the requirements set forth under MCR 2.106. Please notify us promptly of the court's decision regarding this matter, as well as any instructions or additional requirements for the publication of the Summons. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
