Linked In spammed me once when they reached some sort of milestone. The email had no remove-me-from-this-list link or way to tell Linked In that I didn't want to receive emails. I found the CEO's email address and forwarded it to him, asking him to remove me from the mailing list. He sent back a nasty email and deleted my account.

I've not looked back and my life is exactly as it was, minus a few unwanted emails.

Please post the email. LinkedIn is scum, the more people know it, the better.
Do you still have the email from Jeff?
Wow, yeah. That would be an interesting one to read.
Please put up a copy of your letter, the semi-mythical "way to get off LinkedIn's mailing list"!
I should try that with the repeated "sign up" requests I get.
