After reviewing the audited financial statements in the annual report, the

the Units and have increased the Offer Price for your Units by [PERCENTAGE
INCREASE]. The new Offer Price is:

of, your investment in [NAME OF PARTNERSHIP] without the usual transaction costs
associated with market sales or partnership transfer fees.

your Units, the Purchasers have extended the expiration date to June 30, 2002.

If you elect to tender your Units, mail or telecopy a duly completed and
executed copy of the Letter of Transmittal (printed on [COLOR OF PAPER] paper)
