Dear Mr. Doug Jackson,I am writing to formally request copies of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990 annual information returns (including all required schedules, attachments, and supporting documents) for the Sea Chest Foundation Inc. covering the three most recent tax years.As an active 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity, your organization is bound by stringent federal public disclosure regulations. Under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) § 6104(d) and accompanying Treasury Regulations, tax-exempt entities are legally obligated to make their annual returns and exemption applications available for public inspection.Required Action & Web Posting ProvisionTo satisfy this request under the "Widely Available" exception outlined in Treasury Regulation § 301.6104(d)-2, an organization is not required to provide individual copies via email or physical mail only if the documents are made broadly accessible to the general public via the internet.Therefore, I request that the Sea Chest Foundation upload its three most recent IRS Form 990 filings directly to a conspicuous, freely accessible section of the Sea Chest Foundation Official Website.Per the regulations, the online documents must be:Postable in a format that matches the exact documents filed with the IRS.Downloadable, viewable, and printable by any user free of charge and without requiring the disclosure of personal data.Legal Penalties for Non-CompliancePlease be advised that under IRC § 6652(c)(1)(D), a failure to comply with public inspection mandates triggers strict financial penalties. The IRS strictly enforces these requirements:Daily Assessments: A statutory penalty of $20 per day will be assessed against the responsible individual(s) for each day the failure to disclose continues.Statutory Caps: This daily penalty accrues up to a maximum cap of $10,000 per unreturned filing.Willful Non-Compliance: If the IRS determines that the failure to provide the public documents was willful, an additional personal penalty of $5,000 per return may be levied under IRC § 6685.Failure to promptly post these returns to your public domain or reply with a direct link to where they are hosted within the legally allowed timeframe will result in immediate escalation. This will include filing a formal IRS Form 13909 (Tax-Exempt Organization Complaint) with the IRS Dallas/Austin Examination units, alongside a referral to the Oklahoma Attorney General's Charitable Trust Unit for a structural audit on compliance.Please reply to this email once the documentation has been officially integrated into your public website.Thank you for your prompt attention to this statutory matter.

Keep on writing.  Maybe I'll fine time to read that someday.
