Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Jury Duty Coordinator] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request release from jury duty in [County Name] due to financial hardship. I have been recently selected as a prospective juror for the upcoming trial, scheduled to begin on [Trial Date]. However, fulfilling this civic duty would result in significant financial strain and hardship for me and my family. I fully understand and appreciate the importance of serving on a jury, and I regard it as both an obligation and privilege. However, I find myself in an unfortunate circumstance where I am facing financial difficulties that will be adversely affected if I am required to attend to jury duty. As an employee of [Company Name], I am currently the sole breadwinner of my family. Our financial situation has recently become precarious due to unforeseen circumstances, making it increasingly challenging to meet our monthly household expenses. The additional hardship of unpaid time off from work, travel expenses, childcare arrangements, and expenses associated with jury duty would be a significant burden for us to bear. I believe it is crucial to stress that my absence from work for an extended period would disrupt critical projects and require my colleagues to fulfill my duties during my jury service. With all due diligence and responsibility, I have completed the necessary research and would like to present some alternative solutions to request my release from jury duty: 1. Deferral: If it is permissible, I kindly request that my jury service be deferred to a later date when my financial situation is more stable, and I can fulfill my duties without substantial hardship. 2. Excuse: If deferral is not possible, I respectfully request excuse from jury duty due to the financial hardship it would impose on me and my family. I am willing to provide any necessary documentation to substantiate my financial difficulties. I assure you that I take this matter seriously and am committed to fulfilling my civic responsibilities as a juror in the future, once my financial circumstances improve. Furthermore, I genuinely regret any inconvenience this may cause and assure you of my eagerness to contribute to the justice system when I am better able to do so. Please find attached the necessary supporting documents detailing my financial hardship. If additional documentation or information is required, please feel free to reach out to me, and I will be prompt in my response. Thank you for considering my request. I wholeheartedly believe that the court system holds justice in the highest regard while understanding the challenges individuals may face due to financial hardships. I trust that you will review my situation with sympathy and grant me the release from jury duty, allowing me to resolve my financial concerns so that I may serve as an effective juror in the future. Furthermore, I await your favorable response. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your understanding. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
