ATTENTION: DEPARTMENT MANAGERS

     Brooke Group Ltd. has scheduled a cut-off date of Thursday, February 15,
1996 for its consent solicitation.

     As of this date we ask that you issue a properly executed BLUE consent
card. Each BLUE consent card should reflect all internal adjustments due to
later dated revocations from customers who have previously consented. DO NOT
ISSUE A YELLOW REVOCATION CARD TO RJR NABISCO. Doing so will cause an
unintentional revocation of shares held by holders who have consented.

     If you have any questions or need assistance please contact Georgeson &
Company Inc. Bank and Trust Company inquiries should be directed to our Bank
Department, telephone: (212) 440-9901; Broker inquiries to the Broker
Department, telephone: (212) 440-9907.

     Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
