                                 SPINOFF UPDATE

                          YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS

To Our Fellow RJR Nabisco Stockholders:

IT'S NOW OR NEVER. THE TIMING OF THE SPINOFF HAS BECOME A MOVING TARGET.

     On October 30, Chairman Harper told Dow Jones that he wouldn't consider a
spinoff until late 1996 or early 1997, possibly 1998, if a spinoff jeopardized
investment-grade ratings of the Company's bonds. In a mere five weeks after
Chairman Harper's 1996 teaser, Mr. Goldstone, upon his appointment as Chief
Executive Officer, was quoted in the Wall Street Journal on December 6, 1995 as
follows: "I see a confluence of events taking place at 1998--a strengthening of
the tobacco business to the point we could see spinning it off on an
investment-grade basis and clarifying the tobacco litigation situation to the
point that the risk MIGHT become manageable (emphasis supplied)." DETERMINATION
OF THE SPINOFF TARGET DATE HAS SUDDENLY SHIFTED AWAY FROM THE FINANCIAL POSITION
OF THE COMPANY TO RESOLUTION OF ITS LITIGATION MORASS.

               RJR Nabisco has no real target date for a spinoff. Do
          not be fooled by the "promises" to spin off Nabisco "in the
          future." If you read carefully management's January 25
          statement on the subject, you will see that RJR Nabisco has
          not made any real promise:

               "As the litigation environment IMPROVES, the
               Company EXPECTS it will be able to CONSIDER a
               spin-off in 1998 (emphasis supplied)."(superior1)

          TRANSLATED, IT MEANS: IF the legal situation gets better,
          RJR Nabisco will PROBABLY be in a position to THINK ABOUT
          spinning off Nabisco two years from now. IN OTHER WORDS,
          DON'T COUNT ON IT. Forty years of tobacco litigation is
          indicative of the fact that such litigation will not go
          away. Delay serves no one. WITHOUT A COMMITTMENT FOR AN
          IMMEDIATE SPINOFF, NOTHING MAY EVER HAPPEN.

        TELL THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT YOU WANT A SPINOFF NOW AND WILL
                       NOT TOLERATE MORE EMPTY "PROMISES".

GARY BLACK, the #1 tobacco analyst, has just valued a spinoff at $44 PER SHARE
and sees a DOWNSIDE OF $29 per share if Brooke Group loses.(superior2) MICHAEL
PRICE, a respected value investor, recently announced that he would support our
spinoff proposal and estimated that a spinoff is worth $45-50 PER SHARE or $55
with Nabisco sold.(superior3) WHERE DO YOU THINK THE STOCK PRICE WOULD BE
WITHOUT OUR INVOLVEMENT IN RJR AND WITHOUT AN IMMEDIATE SPINOFF?

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE

     YOUR VIEWS CAN NOT BE IGNORED. We believe that the RJR Nabisco Board has no
choice but to spin off Nabisco if the stockholders support our spinoff proposal.

     Do not lose this opportunity to increase the value of your investment.
Brooke Group has determined that it will end its solicitation on FEBRUARY 15 in
order to give the Board of Directors time to commit to an immediate spinoff
before the upcoming annual meeting. REMEMBER, YOU MUST RETURN THE BLUE CONSENT
CARD BY FEBRUARY 15, 1996 IN ORDER TO ASSURE THAT YOUR VOTE WILL BE COUNTED.
Send the Board of Directors the strongest possible message that you support the
spinoff proposal by signing, dating and returning the enclosed Blue consent
card. If you do not, you have in effect voted against the spinoff. Thank you for
your continued support.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          BENNETT S. LEBOW
                                          Chairman of the Board, President
                                             and Chief Executive Officer

1.   Schedule 14A filed by RJR Nabisco with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.

2.   Sanford Bernstein research report, January 30, 1996.

     The report assumes that a post spinoff Nabisco would be worth $22 per
     share (based upon the market value of Nabisco at the time of the report)
     and a price per share of post spinoff RJR Nabisco of $22 per share (based
     upon a 7.5% yield of a $1.65 dividend and a Cash P/E Ratio of 8.3). The
     downside of $29 assumes a $1.65 dividend valued at RJR Nabisco's highest
     relative dividend yield above the S&P yield.
