Mark White, Audit Partner Purvis, Gray and Company, LLPLaurel Ridge Professional Center 2347 SE 17th StreetOcala, FL 34471

Dear Mr. White:

I understand from video of the Annual Meeting March 19, 2016 that you are the auditor for Sumter Electric Cooperative, Inc., d.b.a. SECO Energy. I am contacting you in that capacity.

My name is Neil Gillespie, a member-owner of SECO Energy, account no. 7010005303, electricservice address 8092 SW 115th Loop, Ocala, Florida 34481 (Oak Run, a 55+ community). Therewere two other SECO Energy accounts associated with this service address:

Account of Penelope Gillespie: account # 7010005302 (died September 16, 2009)Account of Cornelius Gillespie: account # 7010005301 (died September 17, 2002)

A PDF of my current itemized statement of services is attached. Also attached is my invitation to

the Annual Meeting March 19, 2016. Link to the video, https://youtu.be/4YGPwkYcpDU

I am requesting the following from you as Sumter Electric’s auditor because in the past SECOEnergy’s management/trustees/legal department have not been sufficiently responsive.

Instead, Sumter Electric recently sued me relative to Capital Credits denied for two years.Sumter Electric failed to acknowledge or respond to my request for disability accommodationmade in February 2016, and thereby denied me access to the benefits to this organization’s

programs and activities. Sumter Electric also subjected me to discrimination.

1. Provide in PDF format the current Bylaws for Sumter Electric Cooperative, Inc.

2. Provide in PDF format Sumter Electric’s annual year-end financial statements for the past three years. The statements are not accessible on the ISSUU website, see attachedmy communication with ISSUU.3. Provide in PDF format evidence of Sumter Electric’s tax-free status.4. Provide in PDF format records showing Sumter Electric Cooperative, Inc. is therecipient of Federal financial assistance from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), anagency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

RE: SECO Energy Account Number: 7010005303

SECO Energy Customer Number: 1034642189, Name: NEIL J GILLESPIE

Dear Issuu, Inc.:

I am a member of the Sumter Electric Cooperative, Inc., d.b.a. SECO Energy. In order to

determine the value of my Capital Credits with SECO Energy, I require access to the SECO

Energy Annual Reports. Currently I am denied access to the Annual Reports by Issuu.

Issuu is a free, buggy, and generally worthless electronic publishing platform for publishers of

annual reports, magazines, catalogs, newspapers and other such.

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a world-class file format used to present documents in a

manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

SECO Energy Annual Reports are provided in “Issuu” format (not PDF) which is not accessible

in any meaningful way. SECO Energy “Issuu” Annual Reports are maintained on a separate

“Issuu” website, https://issuu.com/secoenergy/stacks/edd8c330f8024f6689d6506c6861249f

Among other things, access to SECO Energy “Issuu” Annual Reports requires agreement to

“The Issuu Terms of Service”, to which I do not agree. https://issuu.com/legal/terms

Because I am denied meaningful access by Issuu to the SECO Energy Annual Reports, I demand

the Annual Reports in PDF format so that I may determine the value of my Capital Credits.

This is a demand for SECO Energy Annual Reports in PDF format, for all years, including 2015,

2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004.
