Dear Limited Partner:
In response to questions from some limited partners, we are aware that
you have been contacted by a law firm that has made many statements about the
actions recently proposed by the General Partner. We have seen the letters sent
to you by The Mills Firm and heard the recorded message on the firm's answering
machine. We believe many of Mills' statements are inaccurate; however, federal
securities regulations prevent us from making an immediate reply. We are in the
process of complying with these regulations. We assure you that we will respond
to Mills' statements as soon as we are permitted to do so.
Sincerely,
SI MANAGEMENT LP
