Dear Unitholder:

The Tri-Annual Meeting of Unitholders of Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.
scheduled for October 17, 2006 is less than a week away. Our records indicate
that you have not yet voted your units.

YOUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" ALL OF
THE PROPOSALS ON THE AGENDA AT THE TRI-ANNUAL MEETING.

Because the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Common Units is needed to adopt the Exchange and the Exchange-Related Amendments
about which we have previously written to you, your failure to vote will have
the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the adoption of those proposals.

YOUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE "FOR" THE EXCHANGE AND THE
EXCHANGE-RELATED AMENDMENTS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

o    Unitholders will receive the benefit of 100% of all future distribution
     growth opportunities.

o    The Exchange will simplify our capital structure and lower our future cost
     of equity capital in support of our long-term growth strategies.

o    The General Partner's Incentive Distribution Rights and economic interest
     in Suburban and its operating partnership subsidiary will be eliminated in
     exchange for approximately 7% of the total Common Units to be outstanding.

o    Unitholders will have the right to elect all Supervisors

o    The interests in Suburban of our senior management will be entirely in the
     form of Common Units.

YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NO MATTER HOW MANY UNITS YOU OWN!

Please save your Partnership the expense of additional follow-up mailings by
voting "FOR" ALL PROPOSALS TODAY by telephone, the Internet or by signing,
dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage prepaid envelope
provided to ensure that your vote is received in time to be voted at the
Tri-Annual Meeting.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Very truly yours,


Paul Abel
General Counsel & Secretary
