Re: Final Liquidation and Dissolution of Wells Real Estate Fund XII, 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 XII, L.P. (the Fund), 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 Tax Preferred unit holder, you will not be eligible for this distribution.

Following the last net sale proceeds distribution in November 2013 we reserved approximately $2,618,000 of cash from operations to fund future expenses and obligations of the Fund. Of this amount, approximately $99,000 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 approximately $2,519,000 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 Wells Capital, Inc., the corporate general partner of Wells Partners, L.P., its General Partner, to allow Wells Capital, Inc. to satisfy the Fund’s remaining liabilities on its behalf.

Summary of Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P.
The Fund was originally launched in March 1999 and raised $35,611,192. Over the life of the program, we have paid operating cash distributions of approximately $19,308,000 to Cash Preferred investors. We also provided passive losses to Tax Preferred investors. Additionally, the assets in the program were sold, with net sale proceeds allocated to the Fund totaling approximately $28,005,000. The last net sale proceeds distribution of approximately $13,425,000 was made in November 2013.

Passive Loss Considerations for Tax Preferred Investors Only
As you may remember, part of the design of the Tax Preferred units in the Fund was to receive passive losses during the Fund’s operations. Over the course of the Fund’s life, Tax Preferred investors were allocated passive losses that roughly equaled their total investment.

If you are a Tax Preferred unit holder, you may have unused passive losses, due to the passive loss limitations of the Tax Code. Now that the Fund is closed, unused passive losses may be available to offset current ordinary income on your 2013 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 should 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 2013 tax returns, as we want to ensure that you have maximized the benefits to which you are entitled. Your final Schedule K-1s will be mailed in the first quarter of 2014.

Should you have any questions about your investment, please contact our Client Services Specialists at 800-557-4830. 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 XII, L.P. program.

Sincerely,

Leo F. Wells III
General Partner
