I see OP has been back to read the thread and edit his OP, but not to reply to the thread.

Is it legal for me to publish letters marked 'Private and Confidential'? After all they were sent to me and opened by me so they are now my property.

The letters are your property, but not the contents. All your ex-employer needs to prove a breach of confidentiality is that you knew the letters were private and confidential.
