Believe it or not, this is actually how one is supposed to do this if one went through baptism with their faith group.

A faith that has sacred underwear? Sure, I believe you have to be formal about leaving.
I'm not for any specific group's rights. I'm for rights, period. You shouldn't be attacked, period. You shouldn't be denied services available otherwise to you because of X or Y, period. No one has leave to sneak peeks into your private life, period. I'm sure you get the drift. Rights. Period. The only breach of these rights is when you commit a crime.

Not just the LDS. It is actually supposed to be that way with everybody. Baptism is likened to a spiritual marriage. I've also seen it compared to accepting a spiritual citizenship.
Sending the leadership his letter and formally separating himself from the church (probably not something he did on a whim) means that his name is removed from the rolls of membership. He is now free, in the eyes of God, to choose another group and seek baptism if he wants to. And, there are groups that will definitely want some sort of proof of formal separation before they dip you.

I think the dip (or, if you're Catholic, the sprinkle) is a direct contract with God, not whichever church lends its baptismal (or font). Were I to join another religion than the one that baptized me, I wouldn't have another baptism. That's between me and God, not me and Man. Did it once, that should suffice.
