Exhibit 99.2

August 15, 2007

Dear Registered Representative:

In September 2004, Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland Western”) instituted a ”book-entry” system for its stock records.  Our records indicate that you have clients that have outstanding paper certificates of ownership. We strongly urge stockholders to return their outstanding Inland Western certificates so that they may be converted to “book-entry”.

What is book-entry and why should certificates be surrendered?  Under a book-entry system, paper stock certificates are not issued; thus, eliminating the need for safekeeping to protect against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates.  A book entry system also eliminates the requirement of delivering a stock certificate at the time of any sale or transfer of ownership.  

Will this impact a stockholder’s investment?  Returning a certificate(s) does not impact a stockholder’s investment or distributions.  A stockholder will continue to own the same number of shares.  Ownership of stock will simply be recorded and held in book-entry.   

What information will be sent to stockholders? The attached letter will only be sent to stockholders with outstanding certificates for non-qualified investments. Along with the letter, stockholders will receive an Affidavit of Lost Share Certificate and a postage-paid return envelope.  A confirmation will be sent to stockholders upon receipt of their certificate(s) and conversion to book-entry.  

What information will be sent to registered representatives?  In the next couple of days, you will receive a hard copy of the letter, a report detailing your Inland Western stockholders with outstanding certificates, and an Affidavit of Lost Share Certificate.  

What should stockholders do if they do not have the outstanding certificate(s)?  If a stockholder is unable to locate a paper certificate(s), is not in possession of such certificate(s) or does not recall receiving such certificate(s), an Affidavit of Lost Share Certificate must be completed. More than one certificate number may be listed on the form and the notarized signature of all owners listed on the investment is required.  A fee is not required unless the certificate number starts with “IW”.

Should stockholders sign the back of the certificate(s)?  No.  Stockholders should not sign the back of the certificate(s).

Where should certificates and/or an Affidavit of Lost Share Certificate be sent?
