Public Accounting Firm</font></b></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="times new roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">To
the Shareholders and Board of Trustees<br>
Allspring Income Opportunities Fund:</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="times new roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">In
planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Allspring
Income Opportunities Fund (the Fund), as of and for the year ended
April&nbsp;30,&nbsp;2023, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding
securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="times new roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">Management
of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates
and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="times new roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="times new roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">A
deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design
or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
company&#8217;s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face="times new roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:12.0pt;">Our
consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for
the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily
disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses
under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in
the Fund&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting and its operation,
including controls over safeguarding securities that we consider to be a
material weakness as defined above as of April 30, 2023.</font></p>
