By selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears when you click on the down arrow at the top right of the Facebook page, then selecting "Security" from the menu that appears on the left of the screen, and finally selecting "Disable your account" from the "Security" options that will appear on the right of the screen, you will be able to deactivate your account and complete the process.
