Dear Limited Partner:

Troon 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 paid out either by check, if requested, or wired directly into 
your brokerage account at CIBC Oppenheimer.

The contingent portion of the repurchased interest is valued based on the 
unaudited net asset value of the Partnership as of December 31, 1998, 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 1998 year-end audit, according to the terms of the tender 
offer. We expect the audit to be completed by the end of February, 1999. 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, unless you 
have elected to receive the note directly (see attached note, if applicable). 
Please be aware that the promissory note must be returned to Karen Castagna, 
PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 358, Claymont, Delaware 19703, and received by PFPC no later
than March 8, 1999 in order to receive payment. 

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


                                       Sincerely,

                                       /s/ Howard M. Singer
                                       -----------------------------
