Subject: Request for Removal from LFW Face Dataset

Dear [researcher name],

I am writing to you about the "Labeled Faces in The Wild Dataset". Recently I discovered that your dataset includes my identity and I no longer wish to be included in your dataset.

My name as it appears in your dataset is [your name]. Please remove all images from your dataset and inform your newsletter subscribers to likewise update their copies.
