Re: Final Liquidation and Dissolution of Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P.

Dear Wells Limited Partnership Investor:

Enclosed is the final audited statement of changes in net assets in liquidation for Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (the Fund) and the liquidation statement provided below, as well as your share of the final liquidating distribution for the Fund, if applicable. Please note that this distribution will be made in strict accordance with the partnership agreement, which dictates how proceeds will be distributed. As a result, if you are a Class “B” unit holder, you will not be eligible for this distribution.

Following the last net sale proceeds distribution in October 2009, we reserved approximately $472,300 of both cash from operations and net sale proceeds to fund future expenses and obligations of the Fund. Of this amount, $110,800 has been reserved to fund final dissolution expenditures for the Fund including, but not limited to, legal fees, audit and tax fees, printing and postage costs, and other administrative expenses. Accordingly, at this time, pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the remaining proceeds of $361,500 are being distributed as the final liquidating distribution for the Fund. This transaction marks the completion of this investment program, bringing it full cycle.

In conjunction with the dissolution, the Fund has transferred its remaining cash reserves to the General Partner, Wells Capital, Inc., to allow the General Partner to satisfy the Fund’s remaining liabilities on its behalf.

Total Assets as of the Date of Liquidation	$	457,761

Highlights of Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P.

The Fund was originally launched in 1988 and raised $22,180,505. Over the life of the program, we have paid operating cash distributions of approximately $16,007,000 to Class “A” investors and approximately $340,000 to Class “B” investors. We also provided passive losses to Class “B” investors. Additionally, the assets in the program were sold, with net sale proceeds allocated to the Fund totaling $17,037,195. The last net sale proceeds distribution of $2,200,000 was made in October 2009.

Passive Loss Considerations for Class “B” Investors Only

As you may remember, part of the design of the Class “B” units in the Fund was to receive passive losses during the Fund’s operations. Over the course of the Fund’s life, Class “B” investors were allocated passive losses that roughly equaled their total investment.

If you are a Class “B” unit holder, you may have unused passive losses, due to the passive loss limitations of the Tax Code. Now that the Fund has closed, unused passive losses may be available to offset current ordinary income on your 2009 income tax return. The availability of unused passive losses is unique to each individual taxpayer based on their actual tax filings over the investment period in the Fund. Wells Real Estate Funds and its affiliates do not render tax advice; therefore, you will need to consult with your tax advisor to determine if you have any unused passive losses. Typically, these unused losses would be reflected on Form 8582 of your personal income tax return (Form 8810 for corporations).

We have provided you information on your passive losses on an annual basis on your Schedule K-1 (along with the subsequent income or gain resulting from the sale of the real estate assets). We hope that this information will be helpful when you prepare your 2009 tax returns, as we want to ensure that you have maximized the benefits to which you are entitled. Your final Schedule K-1’s will be mailed in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Should you have any questions about your investment or if we can be of service to you, please contact us at 800-557-4830. Our Client Services Specialists are available Monday through Thursday from 8:15 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (ET).

I am honored to have had the opportunity to serve you and want to thank you for your participation in the Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. program.

Sincerely,
