Configure your sendmail to use SSL and then let the php script to use
sendmail for sending mail.

Another option is to use PGP tools via exec() to encrypt the mail.

Should also point out, if there is any possible way to rewrite your
application and store the data in a database, this would probably be a
more security conscious way of handling your sensitive data. E-mail
is generally not the greatest idea for sending secure data - you might
look at storing it, creating an interface, and then sending a link to
the user to the authenticated section. This way they get notified
immediately, but still have to authenticate.
Just a thought :)
