This email means

"Please, can you remove me from the list. Too many emails that I am  
not interested in. Thank you for your understanding. Best wishes"

Is it possible to add a  link in the footer of the mail with "to  
unsubscribe, click here"? The password stuff is too complex (I do not  
know mine either)
