Exhibit (a)(9) [Letterhead of Mills Properties, Inc.] August 8, 2001 TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF MAXUS REAL PROPERTY INVESTORS - FOUR, L.P. On July 10, 2001, I commenced a tender offer for any and all of the limited partnership units of Maxus Real Property Investors - Four, L.P. at $400 per unit in cash. The offer expired at 12:00 Midnight, Central Daylight Time, on August 7, 2001 with approximately 349 units tendered. These units represent approximately 2.9% of the 12,173 outstanding units of the Partnership. I have accepted all of the units tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the offer for purchase and the tendering holders of these units will shortly be receiving a check in the mail in an amount equal to $400 multiplied by the number of units tendered. Despite a court order and commitments by the general partner to deliver me a current list of the names and addresses of, and the number of units owned by, limited partners of the Partnership, I have yet to receive the information requested. The information that the general partner has produced has been cumbersome, outdated and incomplete. The general partner has used its control of the books and records of the Partnership for its own benefit by making it more difficult for me to communicate my offer to all limited partners. The general partner has made still another promise to deliver to me this morning a current list of limited partners and their addresses and number of units owned. Just in case there is another delay, I am preparing to go into court immediately to require the general partner to perform on the earlier court order against it. I want to make certain that all limited partners who wish to tender their units to me have the opportunity to do so. At this point, I cannot be sure that my offer has reached all of the current limited partners. Thus, I am commencing immediately a subsequent offering period pursuant to Rule 14d-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. While I am accepting for purchase all units tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the initial offer, I will also accept for immediate purchase all units tendered between now and 12:00 Midnight, Central Daylight Time, on Friday, August 17, 2001. The offer remains open for any and all units at $400 per unit in cash. Unlike the initial offer, however, you will not have to wait for your money. I will accept all units for purchase immediately upon proper tender to the depositary and you will be mailed a check for the full purchase price promptly thereafter. There will be no right to withdraw your units during the subsequent offering period because the units will be purchased immediately upon tender. I have enclosed for your convenience another copy of the letter of transmittal to be used in the tendering of your units into the offer. If you have any questions or comments concerning the offer, please contact me or the information agent as promptly as possible. The information agent for the offer is Georgeson Shareholder, 111 Commerce Road, Carlstadt, New Jersey 07072, telephone number: (888) 385-0238, facsimile number: (201) 460-2889. If you wish to tender your units during this subsequent offering period, you may do so by delivering a signed and completed letter of transmittal and the certificate or certificates representing the tendered units to the depositary for the offer, LaSalle Bank National Association, 135 South LaSalle Street, Suite 1811, Corporate Trust Operations, Chicago, Illinois 60603, telephone number: (800) 246-5761, menu option #2, facsimile number: (312) 904-2584.

INSTRUCTIONS: ------------ 1. DELIVERY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND TENDERED CERTIFICATE(S); DELIVERY OF CASH PAYMENT. The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and your tendered certificate(s) is at your option and risk, but, if sent by mail, registered mail is suggested. The cash payment for the limited partnership units tendered hereby will be mailed as soon as practicable following the acceptance of the units for purchase, but in no event later than five days after the receipt by the depositary of a proper tender. 2. SIGNATURES; CERTIFICATES IN DIFFERENT NAMES. A. The signature (or signatures, in the case of limited partnership units owned by two or more holders) on this Letter of Transmittal should correspond exactly with the name(s) of the registered holder(s) of the limited partnership units as reflected on the books and records of the partnership and as described in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered" on the front side of this Letter of Transmittal. B. This Letter of Transmittal need not be accompanied by any instrument of assignment or transfer, as long as the cash payment for the limited partnership units tendered hereby is to be made payable to the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. C. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, officer of a corporation, attorney-in-fact, or in any other representative or fiduciary capacity, the person signing this Letter of Transmittal must give such person's full title in such capacity and appropriate evidence of authority to act in such capacity must be forwarded with the Letter of Transmittal. D. The person in whose name the cash payment for the limited partnership units tendered hereby is to be made payable must supply that person's taxpayer identification number and provide the certification contained in the "TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER" box on the front side of this Letter of Transmittal. Failure to furnish the Taxpayer Identification Number and the certification will result in backup withholding on payments due to the holder. See Instruction 3. E. If you have any questions about the tender of your limited partnership units or completion of this Letter of Transmittal, please contact LaSalle Bank National Association at (800) 246-5761, Menu Option #2. 3. CERTIFICATION REGARDING BACKUP WITHHOLDING. Under Federal income tax law, a payer must generally withhold 31% of interest, dividends and certain other payments if the payee fails to furnish such payer with the correct Taxpayer Identification Number. Certain penalties may also apply. For most individual taxpayers, the Taxpayer Identification Number is the taxpayer's Social Security Number. The registered holder (or, if the cash payment is to be made to another person as provided in Instruction 2, then such person) should provide the Taxpayer Identification Number and the certification in the "TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER" box on the front side of this Letter of Transmittal. The payee must cross out the subpart (ii) of the certification if the Internal Revenue Service has notified the payee that he or she is subject to backup withholding due to the underreporting of dividends or interest on the payee's tax returns. 4. UNCERTIFICATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS; AFFIDAVIT OF LOST, MISPLACED, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATE. A. In the event that a certificate was not issued to evidence your limited partnership units, by signing this Letter of Transmittal, you are representing that you are the beneficial and record owner of the limited partnership units in the box entitled "Description of the Units Tendered," and that you are entitled to the full and exclusive possession thereof. In addition, you represent that neither the limited partnership units nor your rights therein have, in whole or in part, been assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or otherwise disposed of, in any manner whatsoever, and no person, firm or corporation other than you has any right, title, claim, equity or interest in, to or respecting the limited partnership units or the proceeds thereof. You are executing this Letter of Transmittal for the purpose of requesting and inducing O. Bruce Mills to purchase the units tendered for the cash payment of $400 per unit under the terms and conditions of the Offer. If a certificate evidencing the limited partnership units should ever come into your hands, custody or power, you agree to immediately and without consideration tender the certificate to O. Bruce Mills. B. If you have been issued a certificate to evidence your limited partnership units but it has been lost, misplaced, stolen or destroyed, you should complete the Affidavit and Indemnification Agreement sent to you with this Letter of Transmittal and return it to LaSalle Bank National Association along with this Letter of Transmittal. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
