Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request your assistance in releasing me from jury duty service that I have been summoned for in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, I am facing significant financial hardship that would be exacerbated if I were to fulfill my jury duty obligations at this time. As you may know, jury duty requires my devoted attention over an extended period, which would entail my absence from work. This absence would result in a substantial reduction in my earnings and further destabilize my already fragile financial situation. The loss of income and the ensuing hardships would directly impact my ability to meet my financial obligations, including essential expenses such as rent, utility bills, and healthcare costs. New York's legal system recognizes the importance of considering hardships faced by individuals called for jury service. In accordance with New York State Unified Court System's rules, I am seeking an exemption from jury duty based on my financial circumstances. It is worth mentioning that the hardship exemption is granted at the discretion of the court, and they may require supporting documentation to substantiate the claim. To support my request, I have attached relevant financial documentation that outlines the nature of my financial distress. It includes bank statements, proof of rent and utility payments, outstanding bills, medical bills, and any other pertinent information that showcases the hardship I am currently experiencing. I kindly request that you regard this information with utmost confidentiality. Furthermore, I assure you that if I am granted the release from jury duty, I will promptly notify the court and abide by any requirements stipulated by the legal authorities. If there is an opportunity for postponement to a later date, I would be more than willing to fulfill my civic responsibilities once my financial situation stabilizes. I highly value my role and responsibilities at [Company Name], and I am committed to maintaining the highest level of professionalism and dedication to my work. I understand the challenges that may arise due to my absence from the workplace, and I assure you that I will take all necessary measures to minimize any potential disruptions to the team or our clients. Furthermore, I sincerely hope that you will empathize with my situation and grant me the necessary support I need during this difficult period. You're understanding and consideration of my circumstances would alleviate a significant burden, allowing me to concentrate on my work and ultimately contribute more effectively to the success of our organization. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you require any additional information or have any questions. I greatly appreciate your support and understanding. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID] [Contact Information]
