Exhibit 99.4
Dear Valued Customer:
I am pleased to tell you about an investment opportunity and, just as importantly, to request your vote. Pursuant to a Plan of Conversion (the Plan), we will convert from the mutual (meaning no stockholders) to the stock form of ownership. To accomplish the conversion, TC Bancshares, Inc., a newly formed company that will become the holding company for TC Federal Bank (TC Federal), is conducting an offering of shares of its common stock. Enclosed you will find a Prospectus, a Proxy Statement, Proxy Card(s) and a Questions and Answers Brochure describing the conversion, the offering and the Plan.
THE PROXY VOTE:
Your vote is extremely important for us to meet our goals. Although we have received conditional regulatory approval to undertake the conversion of TC Federal, we must receive the approval of our eligible depositors and borrowers. NOT VOTING YOUR ENCLOSED PROXY CARD WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS VOTING AGAINST THE PLAN. Note that you may receive more than one packet of material, depending on the ownership structure of your accounts at TC Federal. Please vote all the Proxy Cards you receive none are duplicates! To cast your vote, please sign each Proxy Card and return the card(s) in the Proxy Reply Envelope provided. Alternatively, you may vote by Internet or telephone by following the simple instructions on the Proxy Card.
Our Board of Directors urges you to vote FOR the Plan.
Please note:
| The proceeds resulting from the sale of stock will support our business strategy. |
| There will be no change to account numbers, interest rates or other terms of your accounts at TC Federal. Deposit accounts will not be converted to stock. Your deposit accounts will continue to be insured by the FDIC, up to the maximum legal limits. |
| You will continue to enjoy the same services with the same Board of Directors, management and staff. |
| Voting does not obligate you to purchase shares of common stock in our offering. |
THE STOCK OFFERING:
As an eligible TC Federal customer, you have non-transferable rights, but no obligation, to purchase shares of common stock during our Subscription Offering before any shares are made available for sale to the general public. The common stock is being offered at $10.00 per share, and there will be no sales commission charged to purchasers during the offering.
Please read the enclosed materials carefully. If you are interested in purchasing shares of common stock, complete the enclosed Stock Order Form and return it, with full payment, in the Stock Order Reply Envelope provided. You may submit your Stock Order Form by overnight delivery to the address indicated on the Stock Order Form, by hand-delivery to TC Federals main office located at 131 S. Dawson Street, Thomasville, Georgia or by mail using the Stock Order Reply Envelope provided. Stock Order Forms and full payment must be received (not postmarked) before 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 22, 2021. If you are considering purchasing stock with funds you have in an IRA or other retirement account, please call our Stock Information Center promptly for guidance, because these orders require additional processing time.

READ THIS FIRST
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Guidance for
Account Holders
Your financial institution is in the process of selling stock to the public in a mutual-to-stock conversion transaction. As an account holder at this institution, you have certain priority subscription rights to purchase stock in the offering. These priority subscription rights are non-transferable. If you subscribe for stock, you will be asked to sign a statement that the purchase is for your own account, and that you have no agreement or understanding regarding the subsequent sale or transfer of any shares you receive.
On occasion, unscrupulous people attempt to persuade account holders to transfer subscription rights, or to purchase shares in the offering based on the understanding that the shares will subsequently be transferred to others. Such arrangements violate federal regulations. If you participate in these schemes, you are breaking the law and may be subject to prosecution. If someone attempts to persuade you to participate in such a scheme, please contact the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Customer Assistance Group, toll-free, at (800) 613-6743. The OCC is very interested in ensuring that the prohibitions on transfer of subscription rights are not violated.
How will you know if you are being approached illegally? Typically, a fraudulent opportunist will approach you and offer to loan you money to purchase a significant amount of stock in the offering. In exchange for that loan you most likely will be asked either to transfer control of any stock purchased with that money to an account the other person controls, or sell the stock and give the majority of the profits to the other person. You may be told, untruthfully, that there is no risk to you, that the practice is common, and even if you are caught, that your legal expenses will be covered.
On the back of this page is a list of some key concepts that you should keep in mind when considering whether to participate in a mutual-to-stock conversion offering. If you have questions, please contact the Stock Information Center at the telephone number listed elsewhere in the literature you are receiving. Alternatively, you can contact the OCC at: The Southern District Office located at 500 North Akard Street, Suite 1600, Dallas, Texas 75201.

What Investors Need to Know
Key concepts for investors to bear in mind when considering whether to participate in a conversion offering include the following:
| Know the Rules By law, account holders cannot sell or transfer their priority subscription rights, or the stock itself, prior to the completion of a financial institutions conversion. Moreover, account holders cannot enter into agreements or arrangements to sell or transfer either their subscription rights or the underlying conversion stock. |
| Neither a Borrower nor a Lender Be If someone offers to lend you money so that you can participate or participate more fully in a conversion, be extremely wary. Be even more wary if the source of the money is someone you do not know. The loan agreement may make you unable to certify truthfully that you are the true holder of the subscription rights and the true purchaser of the stock and that you have no agreements regarding the sale or transfer of the stock. |
| Watch Out for Opportunists The opportunist may tell you that he or she is a lawyer or a consultant or a professional investor or some similarly impressive tale who has experience with similar conversion transactions. The opportunist may go to extreme lengths to assure you that the arrangement you are entering into is legitimate. They might tell you that they have done scores of these transactions and that this is simply how they work. Or they might downplay the warnings or restrictions in the prospectus or stock order form, telling you that everyone enters into such agreements or that the deal they are offering is legitimate. They may also tell you that you have no risk in the transaction. The cold, hard truth is that these are lies, and if you participate, you are breaking the law. |
| Get the Facts from the Source If you have any questions about the securities offering, ask your financial institution for more information. If you have any doubts about a transaction proposed to you by someone else, ask the financial institution whether the proposed arrangement is proper. You may be able to find helpful resources by visiting your financial institution. |
The bottom line for investors is always to remember that if an opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.
