Dear Limited Partner:

         We understand that you will receive from MP Income Fund 15, LLC; MP
Income Fund 12, LLC; Accelerated High Yield Institutional Investors, Ltd.;
Accelerated High Yield Institutional Fund, Ltd.; Moraga Fund 1, L.P.; and Moraga
Gold, LLC an offer to purchase up to 60 limited partnership units at $21,000 per
unit of Riverside Park Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").

         The Partnership, through its general partner, Winthrop Financial
Associates Limited Partnership (the "General Partner"), is required by the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission to make a recommendation whether you
should accept or reject such offer, or whether the Partnership is remaining
neutral with respect to such offer. The General Partner is not making any
recommendation with respect to such offer for the reason set forth under "The
Offer - Section 10. Position of Your General Partner of Your Partnership with
Respect to the Offer" in the Supplement, dated June 29, 1999, to the Offer to
Purchase, dated May 13, 1999, of AIMCO Properties, L.P., which was previously
sent to you. However, it should be noted that such offer is at a lower price and
for less units than the offer being made by AIMCO Properties, L.P., which is for
168.14 units at $21,500 per unit pursuant to a Supplement, dated July 7, 1999,
which has also been sent to you.

         Please note that the General Partner is an affiliate of AIMCO
