Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty Due to Financial Hardship — [Your Name] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Position] [Name of Court] [Court's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to request a release from jury duty, as I am currently facing significant financial hardship. Serving on a jury would have adverse effects on my income stability, preventing me from meeting my basic financial obligations and potentially jeopardizing my employment. I am a dedicated employee at [Your Company Name], where I have been constantly striving to fulfill my professional responsibilities and make valuable contributions. Due to the unique nature of my role, my absence would result in considerable disruption to the workflow, potentially causing delays in critical projects and negatively impacting the company's performance. Additionally, my position does not provide paid time off for jury duty, and the monetary compensation provided by the court would be insufficient to address my financial obligations. Given the present challenging economic circumstances and my current financial state, fulfilling jury duty responsibilities becomes unfeasible. On a monthly basis, I am responsible for major financial commitments such as rent/mortgage, utilities, transportation costs, and supporting my dependents. These essential expenses heavily rely on my full-time employment, and any disruption to my income would present extreme hardship. I kindly request your understanding and the opportunity to be excused from jury duty in light of my compelling financial hardships. I assure you that this request is not made lightly, as I understand the civic duty and importance of jury service. However, my current financial situation necessitates that I prioritize my job stability and financial stability. To support my request, I have enclosed my financial statements for the past three months, detailing my income, expenses, and outstanding debts. It is my sincere hope that reviewing these documents will shed light on my financial difficulties and the necessity of my continuous employment. I am more than willing to provide any additional information or documentation required to further assess my financial situation. Should it be necessary, I am open to any suggestions or alternative arrangements that would enable me to contribute to the fair administration of justice without compromising my financial stability. Please accept my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience my request may cause, and I sincerely appreciate your consideration of my situation. I eagerly await your prompt response to this matter to ensure adequate time for planning and arrangements. Thank you very much for your attention and understanding. Sincerely, [Your Name]
