Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship
Dear [Supervisor/Manager's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance regarding an issue of utmost importance. I have been recently summoned for jury duty in Fairfax, Virginia, which requires my presence for an extended duration. However, due to significant financial hardships, I kindly ask for your support in seeking release from this jury duty obligation. Fairfax, Virginia, is a vibrant city located in the northern part of the state. As the county seat of Fairfax County, it is known for its rich history, diverse culture, and thriving economy. The city boasts an array of ethnic restaurants, shopping centers, historical sites, recreational parks, and renowned educational institutions such as George Mason University. Unfortunately, serving on a jury poses financial challenges for me at this time. As you may be aware, jury duty requires individuals to dedicate significant time away from their regular work schedule, which in turn affects their income. Considering my current financial situation, it would be extremely burdensome to fulfill my jury duty obligations, as it would lead to a loss of income that I cannot afford. I assure you that I fully understand and appreciate the importance of jury duty in upholding justice and maintaining the fairness of the judicial system. Nonetheless, I find myself at a crossroads, where the financial strain outweighs my ability to perform this civic duty. I have explored all possible alternatives to mitigate the impact on my finances, but regrettably, I cannot find a viable solution that would allow me to fulfill both jury duty and my financial responsibilities. To further support my request for release from jury duty, I have attached several supporting documents detailing my financial hardships. These documents include recent bank statements, proof of monthly expenses, and my most recent pay stub or income statement. I am prepared to provide any additional information upon request, including letters from financial advisors, if necessary. I understand that the decision to grant or deny my request lies with the court, and your support will significantly strengthen my case. If my request is approved, I will promptly notify you of the decision and provide all relevant details. In the event that my request is denied, I will make all necessary arrangements to ensure my jury duty obligations are fulfilled without any disruption to my work. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your consideration and understanding in this matter. Your support and guidance during this challenging time would be immensely appreciated. Should you require any further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Employee ID/Contact Information]
