From the privacy files: stranger than fiction

My brother received an interesting email from a professional society. It read:

Dear member,

On your 2005 Member’s Annual Report you told us that you no longer wish to receive a paper copy of your Member’s Annual Report by mail.

We are writing to advise you however that we do not have an e-mail address on our membership database for you.

In order for us to send you the link to the 2006 e-MAR on December 28, 2006, we will need you to provide us with your e-mail contact information by October 23rd, 2006.

Um, hello? If they don’t have an email address on file, how did they send him this email?

Maybe they take their privacy rules too seriously?
