facebook makes it easy for people to import their contact lists from various services and then spam the entire list with friend requests.
the request in this case is going to an email account as opposed to a facebook account.

i can sometimes tell this is happening when the facebook email is sent to an email account that is different from what i am registered with on facebook.
