Perhaps this needs to be the next target for a law suit. Unfortunately, what 
you got was a computer generated letter and it might be doubtful that your 
email was even read by a live person. There should be ways of tracking down 
the corporate offices of the company and sending your information to a much 
higher level.

> MYSPACE SITE ERROR

> INTERNET BROWSER

> SECURITY SETTINGS
> Try lowering your browser's security settings. If you are using a

> TOO MANY FAILED LOGIN ATTEMPTS
> If you see the message Too many failed login attempts, wait 15 minutes

> DELETED PROFILES
> Make sure your profile has not been deleted. If you cannot find your 
> profile, or
> see Invalid Friend ID when you search for it, your profile may have been 
> deleted.
> If it was removed by MySpace, it was because of a violation of the MySpace

> http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=misc.terms
> PASSWORD AND/OR USERNAME
> Verify that you are logging in with the correct username and password.

> If you do not receive your password, please reply to this message with the

> SALUTE
> Please note that if there are no identifying photos on your profile, we

> 2. Reply to this email leaving the subject intact and attach your salute

> 3. We will email your password to you. If you wish to change your email 
> address or
> password, be sure to include the ones you'd like to use in the message.
> Your salute will be used for identification purposes only. Please make 
> sure we can
> clearly see your face, your Friend ID, and your hands holding the sign.
> We do not accept birthdates as a means of verification.
> If you are a band profile, you are required to submit a salute and send
