Dear Sirs:







This will confirm my representation to you and my agreement with you in connection with my acquisition of 1,430,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of VerifyMe, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).







1.

In connection therewith, I furnished you with information, upon which you have relied, in support of my advice to you that I am a substantial investor and able to bear the risk of the loss of my entire investment.  In addition, I have the knowledge and experience in business matters so that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved with my acquisition of the Shares.  Alternatively, in making such acquisition I relied upon the advice of ____________ as to the appropriateness of such investment and such person has the knowledge and experience in business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved with the acquisition of the Shares.

You have advised me that the transfer of the Shares to me will not be registered under the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, and that in not registering the Shares you have relied upon my representations to you set forth in this letter.  The Shares were acquired by me for my own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof.  I have no present intention of reselling or distributing them after any period of time.  I do not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell or transfer to such persons or to any third person any of the Shares.  My acquisition of the Shares for investment is consistent with my financial needs.







3.          I shall make no disposition at any time of any of the Shares in contravention of the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
