Why not tell Egwene? She could not be sure she would reach her or that she'd succeed with her, the letters made sure she would not completely fail if she failed with Egwene. For the rest, she wasn't about to overload Egwene with urgent information she must act on when Egwene was the one she had chosen to bring down the BA - she had more than enough on her plate with just that, especially that Verin knew Egwene would have to work hard from the position she was in if she were to succeed. Verin was also not aware that Egwene could have information passed to Elayne easily.
It still seems like it would have been a good idea to mention it when she met Egwene in the tower, or include it somewhere in her notes or something like that.
And she had no reason to believe Mat wouldn't open her letter as soon as the delay during which he would have to follow orders was over, so the Caemlyn situation was taken care of for Verin.
But that period was 30 days, which made it too late. She even says so in the letter, that she fears Caemlyn will fall before the month is out. If the point was to make sure Mat wouldn't open the letter until she was either dead or free from the oaths, it would have been sufficient to make him promise to open the letter in 10 days and read it.
For that matter, couldn't she have told her warder, and then hinted that he should tell people?

I suspect she just completely misjudges him.
