New York,
ZIP-10001.

Dear Kong Thomas,
I am in a receipt of your letter dated June 23, 2018. Though I feel proud to be in the jury panel, I respectfully request that I am being excused from Jury duty on the said date August 30, 2018. The reason why I am not able to attend the jury duty I accepted earlier is my professional work concerned. I am here in a small firm where I am responsible for everything in the office and the said date for my jury duty is a busy day for my concerned form and so I am not in a position to attend my jury duty. I am free on another day 15th September 2018 and I am happy if the later date is fixed for me to do my jury duty if the court wishes. I have also attached the authorized document from my employer to explain my situation.

I hope you understand my situation and excuse me from jury duty. If you need, you may contact through my phone _____________ for any other clarifications. Thanks in advance!
