Dear American Retirement Villas Properties II Unitholders:

As a fellow unitholder of the above-named partnership, we believe that the
offer to purchase units made by an affiliate of the general partner, now at $400
per unit according to the most recent amendment, is a fair price for units. We
plan to accept the offer.

As we explained in our prior letter, our valuation of the Partnership is higher
than the $400, but a liquidation of the Partnership could take several years.
Discounting our estimate of the net asset value to account for the time value of
money is appropriate. Thus, we believe that a $400 tender offer is an acceptable
tender price at this time.

Please refer to the Schedule 14D-9 on the following pages for further
information regarding our calculation of the net asset value of the
Partnership's assets.


Sincerely,



Chip Patterson
Vice President
