I am writing to request the assistance of the Sheriff's Office in serving process in the state of New York. As an authorized law enforcement agency, your office's involvement ensures the effective and expedient service of the legal documents necessary for the due process of law. I am involved in a legal matter that requires the proper service of process upon [Defendant's Full Name]. Despite diligent efforts to personally serve the defendant, I have been unsuccessful due to various circumstances, such as the defendant's evasiveness or unavailability at their known place of residence or business. Considering the importance of this matter, I kindly request the Sheriff's Office to undertake the task of serving the following legal documents: 1. Summons and Complaint: Attached to this letter, please find a copy of the Summons and Complaint that need to be served upon the defendant. They outline the nature of the legal action being taken against them. 2. Affidavit of Service: Once the service of process is successfully completed, I request that the serving officer completes an Affidavit of Service with detailed information regarding the time, place, and manner of service, which should be signed and notarized. [If applicable, include any additional documents such as subpoenas or restraining orders, along with their descriptions.] I understand that the Sheriff's Office is responsible for enforcing the law and maintaining public safety. I believe your trained personnel and experience in serving process make you the most suitable party to handle this crucial task. For your convenience, I have enclosed all necessary documents and information required for the successful execution of this service. Additionally, please find a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return of the executed Affidavit of Service once completed. I assure you that my intentions are solely to seek justice through legal means and not to burden your office unnecessarily. Hence, any assistance you can provide in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] if you require any further details, have any questions, or need additional information pertaining to this case. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your cooperation and prompt action in serving process would be instrumental in achieving a fair and timely resolution of this legal dispute.
