Once again time for some further clarification regarding the deletion process.
Based on many success-stories, I know for a fact that it works. The crucial step is to not use your Facebook account for 14 days after you've requested deletion. Only the slightest interaction with Facebook and the deletion is cancelled!
So, I've updated the information regarding this, which now reads:
Your account will be deactivated for two weeks, and if you DO NOT USE FACEBOOK IN ANY WAY during that period, your account is permanently deleted.
I REPEAT: Your profile isn't deleted right away! You must NOT log in to, or interact in any other way with Facebook for at least two weeks, as it will cancel the deletion request. That includes NOT logging in to Facebook using any client (like the iPhone app or IM:s like Pidgin), NOT clicking embedded Like-buttons on other websites, NOT logging in to other services using Facebook Connect (like Digg) etc etc.
Hey, while your're at it, delete all your browsing/forms history and cookies as well, to minimize the risk of accidentally using your account!
If you want out - stay out, mmmkay? ;)

Updated ways of contacting Facebook (only by email now).
Tried to clear things up a bit regarding the deletion process. You can't imagine how many mails I get saying that the deletion doesn't work. 99 % of the time people are just too eager to check if it actually worked, logging in to their deactivated account, hence canceling the deletion request.
