RE: DiVall Insured Income Properties 2, L.P. Third Party Tender Offer
Exhibit 99.1

| RE: | DiVall Insured Income Properties 2, L.P. | |
| Third Party Tender Offer |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On or about May 14, 2010, Peachtree Partners and its affiliates (collectively, the “Bidder”) mailed a Repurchase Agreement to limited partners (“Limited Partners”) of DiVall Insured Income Properties 2, L.P. (the “Partnership”), for the purposes of making a third-party tender offer for up to 4.9% (2,268 Units) of the Partnership, including those already owned by the Bidder, at a purchase price equal to $200 per Unit less transfer fees of $100 per investor and less any distributions paid after May 14, 2010 (the “Offer”). Due to the Offer constituting only 4.9% of units in the Partnership, the Bidder did not file a Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Pursuant to Rule 14e-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”), the Partnership is obligated to take a position with respect to the Offer. To that end, in accordance with the terms of Rule 14e-2(a)(2) of the Exchange Act, the Partnership expresses no opinion and is remaining neutral toward the Offer because the decision to accept the Offer is purely an economic decision that will depend on each Limited Partner’s particular circumstance. Therefore, it would be inappropriate for the Partnership to substitute its judgment for that of the Limited Partners. However, the Partnership believes it is important that its Limited Partners understand the following information when considering selling Units to the Bidder or any other unsolicited offer.
1. Third-Party Sales:
The Partnership is not affiliated in any way with the Bidder and the money that may be tendered for the Offer does not come from or through the Partnership. Once the Partnership receives sufficient evidence of a sale from the both a seller and buyer directing the Partnership to transfer the Units, the Units are transferred and a new certificate is issued to the buyer. The Partnership will not be responsible for making sure the seller is paid.
With any unsolicited offer, it is important to thoroughly evaluate the terms and conditions. The fine print may be difficult to understand. For example, one area that seems to lead to confusion is who is entitled to receive (or get credit for) any distributions that occur before the sale is completed and the Unit is transferred.

The SEC has issued warnings about mini-tender offers. The SEC notice states: “Some bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.” The SEC notice can be found at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxx.xxx.
2. Purchase Price of Offer:
The Offer is based on a purchase price equal to $200 per Unit, less transfer fees of $100 per investor.
The Bidder’s purchase price is also subject to downward adjustment in the event of any distributions paid after May 14, 2010. As we understand the Offer, distributions paid after May 14, 2010 will reduce the $200 per Unit purchase price.
Comparative transfer price information is available upon request to our Investor Relations Department. The Partnership’s records indicate that Units are trading in a range from $225 to $255 per Unit. The Partnership, however, makes no representation that these prices are fair or reasonable.
3. Current Rate of Return; Improved Portfolio:
The Partnership continues its efforts to eliminate weak performing properties, strengthen tenant quality and provide greater stability. The Partnership’s aggregate distributions for the First Quarter of 2010 equaled $205,000 ($4.43 per Unit), which was $25,000 lower than originally projected due to timing differences in receipts and disbursements. The approximate annualized adjusted “operating return” for the first quarter of 2010 was approximately 5.7%, based on the internal estimated Net Asset Value of $310 per Unit as of December 31, 2009.
4. Qualified Matching Service:
Within the last two years, the Partnership instituted a “Qualified Matching Service” as defined in Section 1.7704-1(g) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), which facilitates the transfer of up to 10% of the total interest in the Partnership’s capital or profits provided certain requirements are met. This Qualified Matching Service provides for some liquidity, outside of a tender offer scenario, through which Units may be bought and sold.
5. Termination Scheduled for 2020:
The Partnership is currently scheduled to liquidate in 2020, although it is possible this liquidation deadline may be extended if the limited partners vote to amend the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership. It is also possible that the Partnership would elect to sell its assets and liquidate prior to 2020.
