                              Registration Statement on Form SB-2
                              File No. 333-123696
                              -------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     eLEC Communications Corp. (the "Company") hereby requests that the
effectiveness of its Registration Statement on Form SB-2, File No. 333-123696
(the "Registration Statement" ), be accelerated so that the Registration
Statement will become effective by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on Friday,
June 10, 2005, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

     In connection with this request, the Company hereby acknowledges that:

          1.   should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
               or the Commission staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
               declare the Registration Statement effective, the Commission
               shall not be foreclosed from taking any action with respect to
               the Registration Statement;

          2.   the action of the Commission or the Commission staff, acting
               pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration
               Statement effective, does not relieve the Company from its full
               responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures
               in the Registration Statement; and

          3.   the Company may not assert the acceleration of the effectiveness
               of the Registration Statement pursuant to this request as a
               defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any
               person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

     Please notify Eric M. Hellige of Pryor Cashman Sherman & Flynn LLP at
212-326-0846 when the Registration Statement is declared effective.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            eLEC COMMUNICATIONS CORP.
