Even Non-MVPs get Congratulatory Letters from Microsoft

As noted before I was NOT renewed as an MVP this year, so I was surprised to get a letter today that said the following:

"On behalf of the East region, we want to say Congratulations! for your recent award as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in Visual Developer - ASP/ASP.NET . . . ."

I don't think my status has changed, nor should it, but apparently someone at Microsoft believes differently for some reason.
