                           NAPICO AND CASDEN SELL OUT

Dear Fellow Limited Partner:

     Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"),  the nations largest
owner and operator of  apartments,  announced  on December 4, 2001,  that it has
agreed  to  acquire  100%  ownership  of  17,383  apartment  units  through  the
acquisition  of Casden  Properties,  a Los  Angeles  based  private  Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT").  The $1.5 billion  acquisition is comprised of, among
other properties,  11,027 affordable  apartment units (located in 25 states) and
National Partnership Investment Corporation  ("NAPICO"),  a subsidiary of Casden
Properties,  which as a general  partner  controls more than 400 properties with
more  than  41,000  units - this  acquisition  by  AIMCO  includes  the REAL III
Partnership.

                 NAPICO & CASDEN SELL OUT FOR OVER $1.5 BILLION!
                              WHAT DO YOU RECEIVE?

     In a word -- NOTHING!  The sale of the REAL III partnership to AIMCO is not
a  liquidation  of  the  Partnership,  it is a sale  of  NAPICO's  and  Casden's
controlling  interest as general partner[s] and the management  contract for the
Partnership. You, as a limited partner, will receive nothing.

     NAPICO had claimed repeatedly in its communications to you that it had been
trying to negotiate the sale of the remaining  assets of REAL III since 1998. It
claimed  the  process  was  difficult  and  complicated  by  the  local  limited
partnerships,  however,  it is clear to us that the  process  was  uncomplicated
enough that NAPICO was able to negotiate a deal in its own best interest with no
regard for the fate of the limited partners.

     NAPICO committed to distributing up to 3 million dollars by the end of this
year in a June 11,  2001,  letter to its  limited  partners.  Approximately  5.6
million  dollars  have been held by NAPICO  since 1998,  money on which you have
already  paid  taxes.  Will  NAPICO  honor its  commitment  in light of  current
developments?  We believe they are bound by their written commitment and we will
continue to press NAPICO to distribute the limited  partner's cash. Your support
of Bond Purchase's efforts by returning a completed BLUE consent card voting FOR
proposals 1 and 2 to replace  NAPICO and elect Bond  Purchase's  affiliate,  New
G.P., as the new general partner will help ensure that the Partnership's cash is
distributed now that NAPICO is washing its hands of the REAL III partnership.

     Further, we believe NAPICO and Casden claimed they would distribute the
cash held by the partnership with no real intention of making such a
distribution. NAPICO used its promise of a distribution as a ploy to entice you
to remain loyal to it while negotiating secretly behind your back to cash out
and walk away from the Partnership leaving you holding the bag.


                     DOES NAPICO STILL DESERVE YOUR LOYALTY?

     Many limited  partners have supported Bond Purchase by executing their BLUE
consent form and electing to remove  NAPICO as the general  partner and to elect
Bond Purchase's affiliate,  New G.P., as the new general partner. We have spoken
to many other limited partners who have not yet made a decision  because,  while
they are  dissatisfied  with their return on investment and NAPICO's  management
over the last 20 years, they have been willing to give




NAPICO the  benefit of the doubt.  The  December  4,  2001,  press  release,  we
believe,  makes clear NAPICO's willingness to put its interest before yours. Now
that  NAPICO  has  cashed out  without  any  regard to your fate,  do they still
deserve your continued support?

     NAPICO  claims  that:  1) its publicly  announced  intent to dispose of the
Partnership  assets and  liquidate,  2) its  intimate  working  knowledge of the
properties and 3) its continuing  negotiations with each and every local limited
partner were reasons for it to expect your support.  Although we never  believed
there was any merit to these  claims to start  with,  now that NAPICO has cashed
out and AIMCO  will  become the new  general  partner,  we  believe  our plan to
liquidate the  partnership  is the best chance for limited  partners to maximize
any remaining value in the partnership as quickly as possible.

     Please  take this  opportunity  to evaluate  your  decision in light of the
recent  developments  concerning the sale of the Partnership.  We hope you agree
with  us  that  NAPICO,  having  negotiated  the  sale  of its  interest  in and
management of the Partnership  behind your back and without your approval,  does
not deserve your support or your loyalty.

     Bond Purchase is committed to:

     o distributing any remaining excess cash in the Partnership;

     o reducing  management fees by at least 10% and lowering expenses until the
       Partnership can be liquidated; and

     o liquidating  the  Partnership  as soon as possible  while  maximizing any
       remaining value after NAPICO pulls out.

     If you have not voted or are  unsure  if you have  returned  a  revocation,
please take this  opportunity to mark,  sign,  date and return the enclosed BLUE
consent form in the postage paid envelope  provided or for your  convenience you
may fax your vote toll free 1.866.470.4300.

     If you have any questions or need assistance with voting your units, please
contact  N.S.  Taylor &  Associates,  Inc. who is assisting us with this matter.
They can be reached toll free at 1.800.711.8662.

     This letter is being  mailed to limited  partners on or about  December 13,
2001.

     Thank you for your continued support.


                                                  Very Truly Yours,
