Dear Sir/Madam:

The representations made in this letter are based solely on discussions with and
representations from the engagement partner and manager on the audits of the
financial statements of this registrant for the two most recent fiscal years.
Those individuals are no longer with Arthur Andersen LLP. We have read Item 4
included in the Form 8-K dated June 6, 2002 of PubliCARD, Inc. to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and have found no basis for disagreement
with the statements contained therein.


Very truly yours,
