Exhibit (a)(5)
April 14, 2000
TO: UNIT HOLDERS OF CHRISKEN PARTNERS CASH INCOME FUND L.P.
SUBJECT: INCREASE OF PURCHASE PRICE TO $301 PER UNIT, AND EXTENSION OF OFFER
TO MAY 15, 2000
Dear Unit Holder:
As described in the Offer to Purchase previously mailed to you (the
"Offer"), MP VALUE FUND 4, LLC; MORAGA FUND 1, L.P.; MP INCOME FUND 16, LLC;
ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS, LTD.; ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD
INSTITUTIONAL FUND, LTD.; ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD PENSION INVESTORS, LTD.;
MORAGA-DEWAAY FUND, LLC; MP FALCON FUND, LLC; MORAGA GOLD, LLC; and PREVIOUSLY
OWNED MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIPS INCOME 3, L.P. (collectively the "Purchasers") are
offering to purchase up to 5,542 Units of limited partnership interest (the
"Units") in CHRISKEN PARTNERS CASH INCOME FUND L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership(the "Partnership"). With this letter we announce extension of the
expiration date to May 15, 2000, and an increase in the purchase price to:
$301 per Unit
less the amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units
between March 31, 2000 and May 15, 2000, or such other date to which this Offer
may be further extended. Acquisition of all of the Units sought will require
total capital in the amount of approximately $1.7 million.
The Offer will provide you with an opportunity to liquidate all, or a
portion of, your investment in CHRISKEN PARTNERS CASH INCOME FUND L.P. without
the usual transaction costs associated with market sales or partnership transfer
fees.
The Purchasers have become aware of an offer by Bond Purchase, LLC to
purchase your Units for a price of $301 per Unit, which the Purchasers have
decided to match. Unit holders should be aware of a number of issues affecting
the Bond offer:
- the Bond offer has not been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and does not include disclosures
required by the SEC and other mandatory investor
protections. The Purchasers' offer has been filed with the
SEC and includes these investor protections;
- unlike the Purchasers' Offer, the Bond offer does not
permit withdrawal rights, so that a tendering Unit holder
will not be able to withdraw in the event a better offer is
made during the offer period.
1
The Purchasers' Offer permits withdrawal at any time prior
to the expiration of the Purchasers' Offer;
- The Bond offer discloses that its offer is higher "than the
Partnership's recent offer", but fails to disclose the
number of Units Bond owns and how it acquired them. As
disclosed in the Partnership's most recent annual report on
Form 10K: "In October 1999, Bond Purchase, L.L.C., which is
not affiliated with the Partnership or its General
Partners, submitted an unsolicited offer to the
Partnership's Limited Partners to purchase up to 4.9%, or
approximately 1,800, of the outstanding Limited Partnership
Units of the Partnership at $271 per Unit. The
Partnership's records indicate that as of December 31,
1999, 469.27 Units were sold by Limited Partners to Bond
Purchase, L.L.C."; and
- The Bond offer provides no disclosure concerning trading
prices, the identity of persons controlling the offer,
their future intentions, and other matters disclosed in
detail in the Purchasers' Offer. Though their offer has
limited information, Bond nevertheless "encourage(s) you to
act immediately" and thereby applies pressure on Unit
holders to act precipitately, without the protections of
full disclosure, withdrawal rights and proration rights,
all provided in the Purchasers' Offer.
After carefully reading the Offer, if you elect to tender your Units,
mail (using the enclosed pre-addressed, postage paid envelope) or telecopy a
duly completed and executed copy of the Letter of Transmittal (the yellow form)
and Change of Address forms, and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal, to the Depositary for the Offer at:
MacKenzie Patterson, Inc.,
1640 School Street
Moraga, California 94556
Facsimile: (925) 376-7983
E-Mail Address: offers@mackpatt.com
If you have any questions or need assistance, please call the Depository at

This Offer now expires (unless extended) May 15, 2000.
