Dear Shareholder:
You are invited to attend the 2009 FirstEnergy Corp. Annual
Meeting of Shareholders at 10:30 a.m., Eastern time, on
Tuesday, May 19, 2009, at the John S. Knight Center,
77 E. Mill Street, Akron, OH.
As you may recall, you previously consented to accessing annual
reports and proxy statements on the Internet instead of
receiving paper copies. To access and view the proxy
statement and annual report, please go to the Internet address
listed on your proxy card under voting option Vote by
Internet.
The Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders is printed on the
back of this letter. As part of the agenda, business to be voted
on includes six items which are explained in the proxy
statement. The first two items are the election of the 11
members to your Board of Directors named in the proxy statement
and the ratification of the appointment of our independent
registered public accounting firm. Your Board of Directors
recommends that you vote FOR Items 1 and 2. In
addition, there are four shareholder proposals. Your Board of
Directors recommends that you vote AGAINST these shareholder
proposals, which are Items 3 through 6.
Enclosed is your proxy card, which provides instructions to
appoint your proxy and vote your shares. We encourage you to
take advantage of the telephone or Internet voting options.
Please note that since you already have consented to
accessing annual reports and proxy statements on the Internet,
it is not necessary when voting your shares to again
provide consent.
If you wish to receive a paper copy of the annual report and
proxy statement with your proxy card mailed to you in the
future, or if you would like a paper copy of these documents
sent to you now, please call Shareholder Services at
(800) 736-3402.
Your vote and support are important to us. If you are planning
to attend the Annual Meeting, directions to the John S. Knight
Center are included on your proxy card. We hope you can join us.
Sincerely,
