You can just throw away the letter that says you have to go. It is NOT certified mail. They CAN NOT prove you got it unless you signed for it. They won't expect you to show up if you don't respond to the first letter.
That being said, if you have the time to do it, just go. It isn't that big of a deal and if you're halfway intelligent (Most people who have time for jury duty aren't, unfortunately) you might actually help the person whose trial you'll be involved.
dude, if you don't go a judge can then lock you up for contempt. and they do send the letters certified. it said right on mine a warrant would be issued and i could be subject to arrest and fines if i don't show up and don't contact them.
they don't have you sign for a jury duty notice... i got one, forgot about it, didn't go, and have dealt with the police without any word about warrants out for my arrest.
