[quote=Anonymous]I believe that the confidentiality has to do with certain litigation privileges accorded to settlement communications between parties, not that you have to keep the letter confidential from the public. In some jurisdictions, courts protect settlement communications from being admitted as part of the factual record in court -- the idea is that you want to encourage frank communication between parties while they're trying to settle (because settling is good), so you say that those conversations are protected from being later used in court. If you're getting a lot of those letters, though, it would be a good idea to consult with an attorney quickly about it. Shouldn't cost you too much just to learn your rights. [/quote]
