RE:  FINAL LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTIONS AND STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

On August 2, 2005 the  Partnerships  received the remaining  sales proceeds from
the escrow  accounts.  The  attached  check  represents  your final  liquidating
distribution  payment plus any amounts that are being reissued to you. The table
below details the amount of the final liquidating distributions:

                                  Per unit distribution
                               Fund 1:             $0.21
                               Fund 2:             $0.19
                               Fund 3:             $0.20
                               Fund 4:             $0.25
                               Fund 5:             $0.39
                               Fund 6:             $0.47

Please  note that this is the final  distribution  you will  receive  from these
Partnerships  and there will be no further  amounts sent to you, as there are no
remaining assets in these  Partnerships.  Your units in these  Partnerships have
now been liquidated,  and the Partnerships  plan to terminate their existence in
the near future.

You will receive your final K-1 for the Partnership(s)  sometime later this year
or early in 2006. The K-1 will be applicable to the 2005 tax/calendar year.

Our service provider, ACS Securities Services,  Inc. will still provide services
to you through next year and will be available to answer any questions  that you
may have. Please contact them at 1 800 356-1739 option 1.

A Statement of Assets and  Liabilities,  as of April 18, 2005,  the  dissolution
date,  for all the  Partnerships  is included on the other side of this  letter.
Please  note that the  liability  amounts  include all the  estimated  remaining
Partnerships'  expenses  to be  incurred  through the  termination  date.  These
Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of the dissolution  date are provided to
you for information purposes only as required by the Partnership Agreements.

We would like to thank you for your investment in the Textainer Partnerships.


Sincerely,





John A. Maccarone
President - Textainer Capital Corporation

RE:  FINAL LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTIONS AND STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

On August 2, 2005 the  Partnerships  received the remaining  sales proceeds from
the escrow  accounts.  The  attached  check  represents  your final  liquidating
distribution  payment plus any amounts that are being reissued to you. The table
below details the amount of the final liquidating distributions:

                                  Per unit distribution
                               Fund 1:             $0.21
                               Fund 2:             $0.19
                               Fund 3:             $0.20
                               Fund 4:             $0.25
                               Fund 5:             $0.39
                               Fund 6:             $0.47

Please  note that this is the final  distribution  you will  receive  from these
Partnerships  and there will be no further  amounts sent to you, as there are no
remaining assets in these  Partnerships.  Your units in these  Partnerships have
now been liquidated,  and the Partnerships  plan to terminate their existence in
the near future.

You will receive your final K-1 for the Partnership(s)  sometime later this year
or early in 2006. The K-1 will be applicable to the 2005 tax/calendar year.

Our service provider, ACS Securities Services,  Inc. will still provide services
to you through next year and will be available to answer any questions  that you
may have. Please contact them at 1 800 356-1739 option 1.

A Statement of Assets and  Liabilities,  as of April 18, 2005,  the  dissolution
date,  for all the  Partnerships  is included on the other side of this  letter.
Please  note that the  liability  amounts  include all the  estimated  remaining
Partnerships'  expenses  to be  incurred  through the  termination  date.  These
Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of the dissolution  date are provided to
you for information purposes only as required by the Partnership Agreements.

We would like to thank you for your investment in the Textainer Partnerships.

Sincerely,
