             (c) The  information  set forth under the captions  "Introduction -

August 31, 1998

       TO:    Carlyle Real Estate Limited Partnership - VII Limited Partners

  SUBJECT:    INCREASED OFFER!

         We Will Purchase Your Partnership Interests for $37.50 Per Unit

Dear Fellow Limited Partner:

         As you are aware,  we had  previously  filed an offer to purchase  your
units  for $20 and once  again for $30.  We found  that  there  was  substantial
misunderstanding  by limited  partners as to what we were  proposing to purchase
and why. We are making this  increase in the offer price  based,  in large part,
upon the  belief  that the  limited  partners  do not fully  understand  what we
believe  to be an  excellent  offer.  We are also  extending  the offer  through
September 30, 1998.

We believe it is significant that the General Partner:

         1. Cannot  provide any assurance  that the  partnership  will, in fact,
         liquidate by year-end.

         2. Cannot provide any assurance that there will be any  distribution at
         all to investors  albeit the General  Partner  expects it to be between
         $40 and $80 per Unit. You will recall that the partnership made a large
         distribution  in May and now only  holds  reserve  funds.  The  General
         Partner has  expressed  the desire to liquidate  the fund prior to year
         end, if feasible.

The  Purchasers  believe that while there is no guarantee  that the  partnership
will wrap up its  affairs by  year-end,  a sale of  partnership  units at $37.50
offers the  Purchasers the potential for a modest gain, and provides a desirable
liquidation price for Unit holders in light of the risks that:

                  1. The partnership may not liquidate by year-end in which case
                  all limited  partners will be forced to file tax information -
                  at potentially substantial accounting costs for the relatively
                  small  amount of money  involved - for two more  years  rather
                  than just for 1998, and

                  2. The  partnership may pay something less than the $37.50 the
                  Purchasers  are  willing  to pay now,  and may  make  whatever
                  payment they make sometime after the first of the year.

The  Purchasers  believe that a substantial  number of  investors,  particularly
those with fewer than 25 units (or less than  $1,000 in  remaining  value if the
minimum estimated remaining distribution of $40 per Unit is received),  may wrap
up their  investment  now on favorable  terms  without  having to continue to be
subject to the risks of the partnership, and without having to risk a diminution
of the final  proceeds.  Investors in Carlyle VII have  already  received far in
excess of their original $1,000


<PAGE>


per unit investment. We believe that many partners want to be certain that their
investment  ends this year and are not willing to take the additional  risk that
it will continue or that less than $40 to $80 per unit will be distributed  upon
final liquidation whenever that occurs.  These potential  distributions are less
than  2%  of  the  total  distributions  received  from  this  investment,   and
accordingly,  we believe  that many will be willing  to  "trade"  the  potential
additional distributions for the certainty offered by accepting our offer.

The  Purchasers  urge  you to look  once  again at your  situation  to see if it
doesn't  make  sense for you to accept the Offer in light of the amount of money
involved.  Understand that the Purchasers intend to make money by virtue of this
purchase,  but the Purchasers are not concerned  whether or not the  partnership
final  liquidation  occurs in 1998 or in 1999. And the Purchasers are willing to
take on the risks that the final distribution will be less than the $37.50 offer
being made.

         If final liquidation  happens after December 31, 1998, limited partners
         will have to file tax  returns for 1999.  Many  partners do not want to
         face this prospect as it can be very  expensive to have taxes  prepared
         when K-1 information is included.

If you decide that  continuing to be subject to the risks  described here is not
economically wise for you, please accept the Purchaser's offer as made herewith.

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 light blue Letter of  Transmittal  and Change
of Address forms, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal,
to the Depositary for the Offer at:
