Part II

         If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense  and  the  registrant  seeks  relief  pursuant  to Rule  12b-25(b),  the
following should be completed: (Check appropriate box.)

         |X|   (a)  The reasons  described in  reasonable  detail in Part III of
                    this  form  could  not be  eliminated  without  unreasonable
                    effort or expense;


         |X|   (b)  The subject  annual  report on Form 10-K will be filed on or
                    before the fifteenth  calendar day following the  prescribed
                    due date;


         |X|   (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
                    12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.


Part III

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K could not be
filed within the prescribed period.

                  The  preparation  of our  Annual  Report  on Form 10-K for the
         fiscal  year ended  November  30,  2000,  was  delayed  due to the late
         receipt of certain  information  requested by our auditors so that they
         could complete their audit procedures. We were able to file on March 1,
         2001,  which  consequently  required  the filing of this Form 12b-25 to
         obtain an extension of the filing date.

                  As a result of the  foregoing,  our Annual Report on Form 10-K
         for the year ended November 30, 1999, was not completed and filed until
         March 1, 2001.

Part IV

                  this notification.

                           ------------------------------------------------


         (2)      Have all other periodic  reports  required under section 13 or
                  15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or section 30 of
                  the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding twelve
                  months or for such  shorter  period  that the  registrant  was
                  required to file such report(s)  been filed?  If the answer is
                  no, identify such reports.

         (3)      Is it anticipated  that any  significant  change in results of
                  operations from the  corresponding  period for the last fiscal
                  year  will  be  reflected  by the  earnings  statements  to be
                  included  in the  subject  report or portion  thereof?  If so,
                  attach  an  explanation  of  the  anticipated   change,   both

Mr. Paul Riss
Chief Executive Officer
eLEC Communications Corp.
509 Westport Avenue
Norwalk, Connecticut, 06851

Dear Mr. Riss:

At your request,  we are summarizing below the reasons that eLEC  Communications
Corp.  should request an extension for filing of the Company's  annual report on
Form 10K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We received,  too late,  certain  information  that we had requested in order to
complete the audit  procedures  related to our audit of the Company's  financial
statements for the year ended November 30, 2000.

For this reason,  we believe that the Company  should  request an extension  for
filing the Company's 2000 annual report on Form 10K with the SEC.


Very truly yours,


/s/ Steven Wolpow
