Hi, I have in the past registered an account with the adress (email visible only to moderators and staff). I do not use the account and wish to close the account. It seems there is another account made with my other adress (email visible only to moderators and staff) but I cannot recall registering so I assume that a mistake has been made. I do not feel comfortable having any of my adresses connected since I no longer wish to use wordpress. Please consider my request.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Although username accounts are not deleted, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
