Exhibit (a)(3)



September 21, 2007

TO:          SHAREHOLDERS OF BELLAVISTA CAPITAL, INC.

SUBJECT:     OFFER TO PURCHASE SHARES

Dear Shareholder:

As  described  in  the  enclosed  Offer  to  Purchase  and  related  Letters  of
Transmittal   (the  "Offer")  the   Purchasers   named  in  the  attached  Offer
(collectively the "Purchasers") are offering to purchase up to 750,000 Shares of
common stock (the "Shares") in BELLAVISTA CAPITAL, INC. (the "Corporation") at a
purchase price equal to:

                                 $1.75 per Share

The Offer will provide you with an  opportunity  to liquidate  all, or a portion
of, your investment in BELLAVISTA  CAPITAL,  INC. without the usual  transaction
costs  associated  with  market  sales.  Reasons you may wish to sell your Units
include:

      o     BellaVista  decided to cancel all dividends  for three years,  until
            approximately 2009, at the earliest.

      o     Recently  the  Corporation  has  stated  that  it  has  "faced  some
            challenges" in its business plan and that its Net  Realizable  Value
            has  suffered "a decrease of $0.16 per share from our March 31, 2007
            estimate." (Form 8-K filed September 6, 2007) (emphasis added).

      o     You are unlikely to have any other liquidity  options anytime in the
            next two years (outside tender offers or private sales).

      o     You can avoid proration, selling your Shares only if we purchase all
            of  them  by  checking  the  "All  or  None"  box on the  Letter  of
            Transmittal.

After carefully  reading the enclosed Offer, if you elect to tender your Shares,
mail (using the  enclosed  pre-addressed,  postage  paid  envelope) or fax (then
mail) a duly completed and executed copy of the Letter of  Transmittal  (printed
on purple paper) and change of address forms,  and any other documents  required
by the Letter of Transmittal, to the Depositary for the Offer at:

                         MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, LP
                               1640 School Street
                            Moraga, California 94556
                            Facsimile: (925) 631-9119
