> He handed me and envelope and told me to give it to the CEO and that it was confidential. Being curious I looked in the envelope anyways and... Why would you accept to deliver/look into anything that you have been told is confidential? Thats liability I'd really rather not have, personally.

I would justify it because I have no legal duty to not open it unless it was postmarked, and I would look to ensure I'm not going to be an accessory to a crime. If it was really so confidential then deliver it yourself.

  your legal duty as a manager includes respecting company confidentiality, and it does not include suspecting things the company does to be criminal with no basis

For me, it would depend on how much I trust/know the other person. If a friend asked to deliver an unsealed envelope, I would do so without looking. Note, there are very few people I would do this for and I'd be asking pointed questions. Under any other circumstance, I'd want to vet what I'm handing over because I don't want to become an accomplice to something illegal.
