Thankfully when I jumped on the Facebook train, I didn't do the whole "import people from my email contact list." And now, I don't get inundated with emails from Facebook, making suggestions about who I should FB "befriend." When my friend asked me WTF was going on with all of these spammy friend request emails, I knew it had to be happening with others — and it sure is.
When Facebook scans your email contact list for friends, it makes note of the friends you add and don't add. You see, the people you don't add stay in Facebook's system and will come back to haunt you later — exes, your backstabbing high school enemy, old bosses. Facebook will then continually remind you about these people with their "Facebook Friend Suggestion Emails."
To remove these contacts and any trace of them on Facebook, just log in to your account and go here. Done and done.

wow! that would suck! glad i don't get those emails...
1Facebook Friend Suggestion Emails? I don't get these on email, rather on the suggested friends side-bar, and often, they suggest people don't know, nor have any people in common with. Weird.
2Awesome! Thanks!!
3THANK YOU. I don't need you to suggest friends for me, Facebook, thanks. I hate what FB has turned into.
4I just joined Facebook and I find it very annoying.
5THANK YOU! I am so tired of seeing the ex's pic show up on the sidebar. I don't want to be friends with people I want to forget!
6It looks like that suggest friends of friends friends. Poeple I have never heard of. What if a friend of a friend isn't careful who they add. Strangers gain access to our everyday lives. That can be annoying at the very least but even dangerous at times.
7Yeah, that annoys me too .. Facebook is just a way of you breaching your own data protection lol. are you able to stop the "friend suggestions" (friends of friends, etc)? certainly one to p**s u off!!
