It might be presumptive to ask, but people can always say no.

Facebook can look at your email address book, find who is on Facebook with the same email and ask if you want to invite them to be friends. Very easy with people you know. Of course you can ask people who aren't on Facebook but that is a bit more presumptive because they will then have to register on Facebook.

Invite me by all means.
