If you put the letters in a calandar in a microwave over a bowl of water and put it on high for ten minutes that is likely to kill them too

If I am not mistaken, the microwaves will be absorbed by the water first and very little by the other stuff in the microwave oven.

So if a microwave oven must be used, it is best to spray or sprinkle the letters with a little water and ziplock them all in a plastic bag. Then microwave at high heat for say 5 minutes. The steam and hot air produced will kill the anthrax spores.

BTW, a number of women swear by microwaving moist panties to reduce yeast infection. Of course, it goes without saying that those using yogurt to combat yeast infection must not microwave the yogurt.
