[Your letterhead, if desired; if not, your return
address] [Date of letter-month, day, and year] [Recipient's first and last names] Dear [recipient's name]: I have received notification that my presence is
required at jury duty on Monday, September 6, 2010. Although I would be more
than willing to serve and to fulfill my duty as a citizen under different
circumstances, my life situation makes it impossible for me to serve. More
specifically, I have three very young children, including a 4-month-old baby,
and they require my constant attention and care. Therefore, I am contacting
you to respectfully request that I be excused from jury duty. Please respond to let me know whether you need
additional information and whether your office has granted me an excuse from
jury duty. Thank you in advance for considering this request. I look forward
to hearing from you in the near future. Sincerely, [Signature] [Sender's first and last names] |
