I get people that I have emailed in the past including solicitors and the like. I doubt they would want to be my friends even if I decided to add them!

Same happened to me where it said a friend i might know.Now none of friends have got this woman on their friends list yet FB seemed to know i know her ! I have her email address through my Hotmail and i have never done search for friends using my Hotmail account.
Facebook is too dodgy for me so deleted my account account and dont miss it at all.

that's because both you were silly enough to actually give facebook your emails account password, so they downloaded your entire contacts list inorder to 'suggest' you friends.

Facebook identifies potential friends using the MI5 database, or the other way round - I can never remember.
