Facebook is stalking me

Back in August 2011 I quit facebook. I had asked them to delete my account and my data. And I didn't contact them in any way since, to keep them from re-activating my account. They are a bit sneaky about that.Today I've received a mail from Facebook telling me that Fred Suchandsuch (name changed) wants to be my friend on Facebook.
I don't like to receive mails like that. But what I find outright shocking is that in that mail they included a list of other people who over nine months ago had asked to be my friends.
"Other people have asked to be your friend on Facebook. Accept this invitation to see your previous friend requests"
Excuse me? Facebook is still using the very data that I asked them to delete 9 months ago and they're playing the emotional blackmail card.
From now on Facebook mails are going to my spam folder.
Have you had anything like that happen to you?
