RE:   NORTHLAND CABLE PROPERTIES SEVEN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Dear Limited Partner:

We have recently been made aware of an outstanding offer by entities affiliated
with MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, Inc. ("MPF") to purchase limited partnership
units in Northland Cable Properties Seven Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"). Under the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC's")
Release No. 34-43069, the Partnership is obligated to respond to such offers by
stating its position with respect to the tender offer.

The Partnership does not in any way recommend or endorse MPF's offer and
expresses no opinion as to whether the Partnership's limited partners should
tender their units in the offer. The Partnership is not associated with MPF, the
offer or the offer documentation. The Partnership encourages its limited
partners to consult their financial and tax advisors concerning this offer.

The SEC has cautioned investors about offers of this nature. Mini-tender offers,
which are offers to buy less than 5 percent of a company's equity, "have been
increasingly used to catch investors off guard," according to an investor alert
on the SEC's website. The Partnership's limited partners should be aware that
many of the SEC's tender offer rules designed to protect investors do not apply
to mini-tender offers.

To read more about the risks of mini-tender offers, please review an investor
alert on the SEC's website, available at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.

Limited partners should be aware that there is no established trading market for
the units and, accordingly, there is no established trading price for the units.
However, as disclosed in MPF's offer letter, there have been recent sales of
limited partnership units at prices greater than the price offered by MPF.
Additional information on recent sales of limited partnership units may be
obtained through the American Partnership Board at (800) 695-2523. The
Partnership is not associated with the American Partnership Board and pricing
information obtained through the American Partnership Board may not reflect the
fair value of the units.

For more information about the Partnership, please see the filings we make with
the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2004. These filings can be found on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Additionally, for your information we have enclosed the Partnership's 2004
Audited Financial Statements.
