You are being summoned for Jury Duty and you are required to appear on the day and time shown.
It is every citizens duty and obligation as an American to be called and to serve on Jury Duty. That's how our fair and open system of laws and courts exists...the right to be heard by a jury of ones peers.
I you don't appear on the time and date, a bench warrant for your arrest will be issued and you will be arrested and brought before the court.

You have been selected for jury service. Go to the courthouse at the time and place designated. You're not in trouble.
Depending on the jurisdiction (the specific court) you may get paid a nominal amount, but it'll be something small like $15 per day. If you are employed, your existing employer may compensate you for your time away at jury duty as well. Ask your employer their policy for jury duty.

Because you are a registered voter, you are required to follow instructions when you are called for jury duty, which will happen to you now and then. Do what the letter asks you to do.
Tell your employer that you are on jury duty. They do not have to pay you, but it is absolutely illegal for them to fire you for going on jury duty. The state will pay you for duty, but it's not much.

You have received a court order to report as the form instructs. You will probably be paid a small daily amount and maybe mileage and parking fees, depending on the jurisdiction.

What is truly scary is that from a defense standpoint you will make a perfect juror, totally clueless.

Please fill it out so you wont be picked as a juror. If you cant understand the letter then you shouldn't be picked as a juror you may convict an innocent person.
