    Dear Ida,

    I hope you're well.

    We don't add email addresses to our mailinglist without consent - perhaps it was via the Source Expo last year, where we had a "join our mailinglist" document floating around. 

    I have already unsubscribed you, but to unsubscribe, visitors can go here: http://www.offsetwarehouse.com/email_unsubscribe.php

    I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience and look forwards to seeing you at this year's Expo.

    Kind regards,

    Yi.
