Dear {jury commissioner}:
I have received a summons for jury service on {date}. Coincidentally, I am already committed to {travel overseas/testify in another trial/get married/etc.} at that time. Changing my plans would be nearly impossible and create an extreme hardship. I have enclosed {documentation} as proof of these plans.
I'm not seeking to be excused altogether. I would be happy to serve {date range}. Please postpone my service until at least that time.
Sincerely,
{Sender Name}
