有人知道是咋回事吗?
It is Jury Duty. For many generations, trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our criminal justice system. Through participation in the jury system, the people of a community play a direct role in the administration of justice. 0 F( O+ N+ s$ w7 j o Prospective juror names are randomly selected from the Alberta Registries database within the Province of Alberta. On occasion a name may be selected of a citizen who has either moved or is deceased, usually when a change in personal information has not been updated with Alberta Registries. An online questionnaire is available to determine your eligibility for jury duty. ; s( s% W; @0 g9 @

Don't worry if you don't want to attend, you can tell them you don't understand English very well. Then you can be free. 7 G& B) ~7 j* B6 G7 z# d- Ahttp://www.albertacourts.ab.ca/C ... id/243/Default.aspx 0 b5 R. u9 Y) M" L3 I
Don't worry. If you have a valid reason, you don't have to go. I had this letter before. I didn't go because I was working and studying full time. I just wrote the reason and attached my tuition fee payment receipt, then mail the letter back. They will mail you a letter to inform their final decision.% p0 Q- n& t$ @6 c
Good luck!
