[AUGUSTA PARTNERS, L.P. LETTERHEAD]


January 10, 2000


Dear Limited Partner:

Augusta Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") has received and accepted your tender
request. Enclosed is a statement showing the breakdown of your capital
withdrawal and the manner in which it is being distributed, in accordance with
the tender offer.

In the event that you have tendered your entire investment, you have been paid
95% of the amount requested, in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.
The funds were wired directly into your CIBC Oppenheimer brokerage account.

The contingent portion of the repurchased interest is valued based on the
unaudited net asset value of the Partnership as of December 31, 1999, and is
subject to year end audit adjustments which may cause a change in the value of
the contingent portion of the repurchased interest. The contingent portion will
be paid (subject to audit adjustment) within 10 calendar days following the
conclusion of the 1999 year-end audit, according to the terms of the tender
offer. We expect the audit to be completed by the end of February, 2000. This
investment will no longer appear on your CIBC Oppenheimer monthly statement,
beginning with your February statement. However, the contingent portion owed to
you will appear on your month end statement as a promissory note.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact PFPC Inc., our
Administrator, at 1-888-520-3280.


Sincerely,


/s/ HOWARD SINGER
