                       NEW ENERGY CORPORATION OF INDIANA
                            3201 WEST CALVERT STREET
                           SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46613
 
Dear Limited Partner:
 
   
     You are cordially invited to attend a Special Meeting of Limited Partners
(the "Special Meeting") of New Energy Company of Indiana Limited Partnership, an
Indiana limited partnership (the "Company"), to be held on December 16, 1997, at
11:00 am. local time, at Century Center--Recital Hall, 120 South Saint Joseph
Street, South Bend, Indiana 46601.
    
 
     At this meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the question
of the approval of the sale of all the assets and business of the Company
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of July 1,
1997, by and between the Company and Corn Energy, Inc. (the "Purchaser") and the
subsequent liquidation of the Company in accordance with the Amended and
Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Company and an Agreement and Plan
of Complete Liquidation dated July 1, 1997, between the Company and New Energy
Corporation of Indiana, an Indiana corporation (the "Corporation"), the
Company's sole general partner. The sale of the business and assets and the
subsequent liquidation of the Company, and the other transactions contemplated
by the Agreement, are hereinafter referred to as the "Transaction."
 
     The Notice of the Special Meeting, the Corporation's proxy statement (the
"Proxy Statement") and form of Proxy accompany this letter. The matters listed
in the Notice of the Special Meeting are described in detail in the Proxy
Statement. All statements made herein are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the Proxy Statement, and you should review the Proxy Statement
carefully before executing your Proxy.
 
     THE DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION, THE SOLE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE COMPANY,
HAVE FULLY REVIEWED AND CONSIDERED THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TRANSACTION
AND HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSACTION, TAKEN AS A WHOLE, IS FAIR TO, AND IN
THE BEST INTERESTS OF, THE LIMITED PARTNERS.
 
     As more fully described in the Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors of
the Corporation has concluded that it is in the best interest of the Limited
Partners that the business of the Company be sold at this time. The Company is
highly leveraged, and due to its capital structure it does not have the
flexibility needed to raise additional capital. The Company is in need of
additional capital to assure its supply of corn, to meet environmental
requirements and to meet other emergencies that it may face in the future. There
is no assurance that the Company will be able to repay or refinance its existing
indebtedness as it comes due. In the event of an uncured default by the Company
under its senior indebtedness, it is possible that the existing equity interests
of the Limited Partners would be extinguished. The continued availability of the
ethanol tax subsidies on which the Company relies heavily is not assured. There
is no market for the Limited Partner Units, and the Limited Partners no longer
enjoy the tax benefits previously available through the partnership structure.
Finally, the business of the Company is subject to various other uncertainties.
As a result of these and other factors, Limited Partners cannot expect any
distributions with respect to their Limited Partner Units for the foreseeable
future unless the business is sold.
 
     Based upon the opinion of Duff & Phelps LLC, the Corporation's Board of
Directors believes that the terms of the Transaction are fair to the Limited
Partners from a financial point of view.
 
     The Transaction will not be consummated unless the Transaction is approved
by the vote of Limited Partners entitled to vote, who own more than fifty
percent (50%) of the distributive share of profits and losses of the Limited
Partnership owned by all Limited Partners other than the Special Limited
Partner, Corporation, Corporation Affiliates and Corporation Assigns (each as
defined in the Proxy Statement).

     THE VOTE OF EACH LIMITED PARTNER IS IMPORTANT. MAILING YOUR PROXY WILL NOT
PREVENT YOU FROM VOTING IN PERSON AT THE MEETING, IF YOU WISH TO DO SO. PLEASE
SIGN, DATE AND PROMPTLY MAIL YOUR PROXY. YOUR COOPERATION WILL BE GREATLY
APPRECIATED. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FOREGOING, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO
CONTACT MICHELE VERHOEVEN AT 3201 WEST CALVERT STREET, P.O. BOX 2289, SOUTH
BEND, INDIANA 46680-2289 OR BY TELEPHONE AT 1(800) 526-8947 OR (219) 233-3116.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          NEW ENERGY CORPORATION OF INDIANA,
                                          General Partner
