Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship
Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Honorable Court Clerk's Name] [Court's Name] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Honorable Court Clerk's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to respectfully request release from jury duty, as I am currently facing significant financial hardships that would make it extremely challenging for me to serve on a jury. I am an employee at [Company Name] in Houston, Texas, and my role requires my presence at work on a daily basis. Due to the financial constraints caused by the ongoing pandemic, I am struggling to meet my financial obligations and maintain stability in my day-to-day life. Serving on a jury would impose an additional burden, severely affecting my ability to support myself financially. Considering the financial strain I am under, fulfilling my duty as a juror would cause substantial hardship by: 1. Loss of Income: Being absent from work for an extended period would result in a significant loss of income, creating further instability in my financial situation. 2. Inability to Meet Financial Obligations: As I am barely making ends meet, serving on a jury would prevent me from meeting my financial commitments, including rent, utilities, and loan payments. 3. Interruption to Job Stability: My current job is vital to my financial survival, as it provides stability and job security in these uncertain times. Serving on a jury would disrupt this stability, putting my employment at risk. 4. Absence of a Support Network: I do not have any immediate family or friends who can support me financially during this jury duty service. Relying solely on government assistance during this time is an additional challenge, and I believe it would have a detrimental impact on my overall well-being. I assure you that if my financial circumstances were not as dire, I would be honored to serve my civic duty as a juror. However, due to the hardships described above, I kindly request an exemption from jury duty at this time. I understand the significance of jury service and take my civic responsibilities seriously. If my request can be granted, I am more than willing to provide any documentation or additional information that may be necessary to support my request. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience, either by phone or email, if you require any further information or if an in-person meeting is necessary. I appreciate your understanding and consideration in this matter. Thank you for your attention to my request. Sincerely, [Your Name]
