Dear Enstar Income Program II-1, L.P. Unitholder,

       In November 1999, the general partner of Enstar Income Program II-1, L.P.
was acquired by Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC. Charter is the
nation's fourth largest cable television operator, serving approximately 6.2
million customers. Since the acquisition date, the general partner has been
working actively to sell the cable systems owned by the partnership.

       We are aware that you are about to receive, or have already received, a
proxy statement from Millenium Management LLC, a purported affiliate of Everest
Cable Investors LLC, one of Enstar Income Program II-1's limited partners.
Millenium is soliciting your consent to terminate and dissolve the partnership
and appoint Millenium as liquidating trustee to oversee the sale of the
partnership's assets and wind up its business. BY THEIR OWN ADMISSIONS,
MILLENIUM AND EVEREST HAVE VERY LITTLE, IF ANY, HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE IN THE
CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY.

       WE URGE YOU TO DO NOTHING AT THIS TIME WITH RESPECT TO MILLENIUM'S
SOLICITATION UNTIL YOU RECEIVE PROXY MATERIALS FROM US FOR THE FOLLOWING
REASONS:

- We are in the process of seeking to sell the partnership's cable television
systems. We have retained a respected cable industry broker and are presently
soliciting a second round of bids from interested potential buyers. We believe
that intervention by Millenium will delay the ongoing sale process, since it is
inexperienced in the cable television industry.

- We are proposing to sell this partnership's cable systems along with the cable
systems of several other affiliated Enstar partnerships. We believe we will get
a favorable price for the cable systems by selling them in this manner and we
believe we should incur lower transaction costs in connection with the sale of
the partnership's assets.

       If we are successful in reaching a definitive sale agreement, you will
receive by mail our proxy statement and a proxy card soliciting your consent to
approve our liquidation plan, consisting of the sale of the partnership's assets
and subsequent liquidation of the partnership and distribution of its assets.

       WE ASK YOU TO READ OUR PROXY STATEMENT WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT BECAUSE IT
WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ANY PROPOSED SALE OF THE
PARTNERSHIP'S ASSETS. The partnership's proxy statement will also be available
for free upon filing from the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at
www.sec.gov as well as the partnership's annual and quarterly reports.

On behalf of the partnership.


                                   Sincerely,

                                   /s/ Ralph G. Kelly
                                   -------------------------------------
                                   Ralph G. Kelly
                                   Senior Vice President-Treasurer,
                                   Enstar Communications Corporation
                                   General Partner
