JURY DUTY!!! =(
Here's the letter I wrote. Bear in mind that not only am I an engineer, but I am construction as well...
*****
May 25, 2004
Superior Court of California
County of Alameda
Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse
661 Washington Street, 3rd Floor Room 360
Oakland, CA 94607-3922
Subject: Jury Duty for James [last name deleted]
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to request that James [last name deleted] be excused from jury duty.
As the sole Project Engineer on my construction project, he is essential and integral to the day-to-day operations of my project here in Santa Clara. We are unable to replace him with another engineer as his knowledge of and familiarity with the project to date cannot be duplicated.
As is always the case, time is of the essence on construction undertakings of this magnitude. Mr. [last name deleted]'s absence will prolong an already delayed schedule, which in turn could result in liquidated damages.
Sincerely,
R. Ashley Carter, EIT
Underground Construction Co., Inc.
Project Manager
