The Sunday Telegraph can exclusively introduce Olivia Nasser, the "olive-skinned" beauty who so enraptured Immigration Department staffer Steve Tucker that he put his heart on his sleeve and his job on the line to be reunited with her.

Their brief encounter at a ball last weekend spurred Mr Tucker to send an emotional email to 7000 colleagues in a quest for romance that instead turned the modern day Romeo into an international laughing stock.

Mr Tucker was reprimanded by his boss and ridiculed around the world after the email went viral but, worst of all, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the girl of his dreams isn't interested.

In fact, Ms Nasser apparently can't even recall meeting her not-so-secret admirer at the Social Network of Graduates (SNoG) Ball in Canberra.

Ball organiser Laura Bateman said Ms Nasser was not keen to hook up with him.

"She can't remember him," she said.

"She wants to get on with her life. Canberra is only a small city. It's already out of control."

When The Sunday Telegraph contacted Ms Nasser she said she was too busy to talk.

Things went awry when Mr Tucker sent an email that would go viral, after it was posted on Canberra-based website the-riotact.com.

He was trying to track down the housemate of Ms Nasser, who worked somewhere in the department.

"She left a strong and positive impression on me," Mr Tucker wrote.

"Unfortunately, people got in the way and I didn't get to finish our meeting how I wanted to which has been bugging me ever since ."

When reports surfaced that the lovelorn staffer was facing the sack over the email, internet campaigns to "Save Steve" appeared on Twitter and Facebook.

However, a department spokeswoman said it was not a "sackable offence".
