LIMITED PARTNERS OF SWIFT ENERGY INCOME
PARTNERS 1987-A, LTD. (the "Partnership")

         During the past week,  Swift  Energy  Company  ("Swift"),  as  managing
general  partner  of the  above-referenced  Partnership,  provided a list of all
limited  partners of the  Partnership  to an  affiliate  of Madison  Partnership
Liquidity Investors 60 LLC,  ("Madison") who had requested such a list, pursuant
to the terms of the limited partnership agreement,  in order to make an offer to
purchase a certain  amount of limited  partners'  units.  Although  the list was
provided under the limited partnership agreement to Madison in its capacity as a
limited  partner,  Swift  previously  conducted  negotiations to assure that any
offers by Madison  for  limited  partners  units would  disclose  certain  basic
information to limited partners, that any offer would be conducted in compliance
with applicable rules (including the limitation indicated below on the amount of
Partnership  interests that can be purchased to assure  compliance  with certain
income tax safe  harbours),  and that  certain  procedures  would be followed to
treat the limited partners fairly.  Swift  anticipates that, in the near future,
you may  receive an offer to purchase  your  interest  in the  Partnership  from
Madison.  It is  anticipated  that  this  offer  will  be  limited  to 4% of the
outstanding Partnership interests,  excluding the Partnership interests owned by
the general partners (both as general and limited partners).

         The offering  limited  partner,  Madison,  is not  affiliated  with the
managing general partner or the special general partner of the Partnership.  The
general  partners  cannot offer you any advice as to whether to accept or reject
any such offer to purchase  your  Partnership  interest.  As a reference  point,
however,  we want to  remind  you that the most  recent  "unit  value"  at which
limited  partners  could offer their  interests in the  Partnership  in 1997 was
$170.65 per $1000 unit ($1,706.00 per $10,000 investment).  This value was based
upon an audit of the Partnership's  proved reserves as of December 31, 1996. The
current  value or  liquidation  distribution,  an estimate of which is set forth
below, would be adjusted since that date for  distributions,  normal declines in
reserves as a result of production and market conditions.

         We are continuing to work with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission
on finalizing  proxy  soliciting  materials to be sent to you in connection with
your opportunity to vote upon a proposal to sell your  Partnership's  properties
to  the  managing  general  partner  and  to  liquidate  your  Partnership  (the
"Proposal").  Please note that for this sale and liquidation to occur,  approval
of the Proposal by a majority  vote of the limited  partners is required.  Thus,
there is no assurance that the Proposal will be approved or

consummated.  If approved by the limited  partners,  it is anticipated  that the
Partnership  will be liquidated by year-end with  dissolution and final Schedule
K-1s to be issued promptly thereafter.

         If the Proposal is approved, the liquidation distribution would be free
of any transfer fees and the ultimate liquidation value is expected to be higher
than  $105.00  per Unit with the final  distribution  expected to be made in the
fourth  quarter of 1998 or promptly  thereafter.  Although the Managing  General
Partner is not  advising  you  whether or not to accept any other  offer,  we do
believe  that you should be made aware of the Proposal in  evaluating  any other
offers.

         Even though any purchase of limited  partners'  units by Madison  would
not  affect the  properties  which  Swift  would  purchase  if the  Proposal  is
approved, Madison would vote any units it acquires. In such case, Madison's vote
may or may not have an effect upon the ultimate vote on the Proposal.

         If you  have any  questions,  please  contact  the  Investor  Relations
Department at 800/777-2750 or 281/874-2750.



                                   Sincerely,

believe  that you should be made aware of the Proposal in  evaluating  any other
offers.

         Even though any purchase of limited  partners'  units by Madison  would
not  affect the  properties  which  Swift  would  purchase  if the  Proposal  is
approved, Madison would vote any units it acquires. In such case, Madison's vote
may or may not have an effect upon the ultimate vote on the Proposal.

         If you  have any  questions,  please  contact  the  Investor  Relations
Department at 800/777-2750 or 281/874-2750.



                                   Sincerely,


                                   /s/  Bruce H. Vincent
