Please remove me from your list. I know I've never signed up for your emails.
Legally, you must include an unsubscribe link in all emails. Any future solicitations will be reported to the FCC's unsolicited spam site.
-----Bimbo's Response-----
This is not a mail group. A host wanted to invite you and did not have your mailing address. They asked that I send you an electronic invitation. My computer for some reason sent the email three times. There is nothing to unsubscribe from because this is not a mailing list. I will kindly let the host know that you are uninterested in their invitation.
Sorry to put you out and no harshness was intended.

-----My Final Response Before Adding Bimbo To Junk Senders List-----
Bimbo,
Invitations don't generally involve suggested donations to political candidates and are usually sent by hosts, not by finance directors of political campaigns.
Anyone who I would accept an invitation from:
- already has my mailing address,
- is aware that I've just had major surgery,
- knows I am 1500+ miles from Fort Collins, and
- knows that I am no longer a registered voter in Colorado.
Sorry to put you out. Maybe you should let the hosts know that your "invitations" look like political solicitations sent to a purchased list of email addresses, since that was apparently nowhere near their intentions.
