alternative evidence of residence

I have obtained my ILR last year and after holding it for just over a year I now want to get my British passport. One of the requirements is for me to show 5 years of legal residency within the UK, the only problem is that I have lost my passport showing that I have indeed been in the country for that period of time.

On the UKBA it states that I can also "provide letters from employers".

My question is this: Can I use these letters if they have been e-mailed to me and are therefore not original documents or is it alright to simply print the PDF and word documents that my past employments sent me?
