Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship — [Employee's Name] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Court Name] [Court Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to request a release from my jury duty service, which I have been summoned to participate in on [Date] in [Court Name]. While I understand the importance of serving on a jury, I am facing significant financial hardship that prohibits me from fulfilling this obligation at present. As an active member of the workforce, I am sincerely dedicated to fulfilling my responsibilities both professionally and personally. However, I find myself in a difficult financial situation that requires my utmost attention and availability. I am currently experiencing the following financial hardships: 1. Income Constraints: Due to recent unforeseen circumstances, my income has significantly decreased or ceased altogether. These challenges have led to an inability to meet my daily expenses, including essential bills, rent/mortgage payments, healthcare costs, and provisions for my dependents. 2. Job Security Implications: Feasibly serving on a jury would require me to take time off work. Unfortunately, my current employment situation does not provide me with paid leave or alternative financial support during my absence. An extended period away from work could result in the loss of my job and exacerbate my financial struggles even further. 3. Financial Obligations: In addition to essential expenses, I am currently burdened with overwhelming debts, loans, or outstanding financial commitments. Given my situation, fulfilling these obligations and maintaining stability in my financial matters is genuinely challenging. 4. No Access to Compensation: Unlike certain jurisdictions that reimburse jurors, Minnesota does not provide compensation to its jurors for the first three days. This lack of financial assistance with jury duty costs significantly impacts individuals like me who are already burdened by financial hardships. Considering these compelling circumstances, I kindly urge you to grant me a release from my jury duty summons. I assure you that if financial circumstances improve in the future, I would willingly serve my civic duty on a future date. To support my request, I am enclosing supporting documentation detailing my current financial situation. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by my request and deeply appreciate your understanding. If you require any further information or documentation to evaluate my situation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
