Hello Mr. Malik, I知 calling from Global Health Solutions. I知 calling to let you know, it痴 your lucky day for we are running a very special promotion only today that will be given to handful customers we carefully hand pick and your name was on the top of the list. I知 sure with your hectic schedule, you can sure use extra boost to your system and that痴 exactly what our FDA approved all natural herbal solution does. Just for you being so nice, I値l add two more bottles for free and not only that, you will be our preferred customer so I値l add expedited shipping for only $5 flat fee. So which credit card would you like to place the order for the miracle product to boost your immune system that also does wonders for your skin and makes you feel much younger.
I知 so flattered with all your promotion
I must admit your script is well done
But here痴 a little problem with no solution
I don稚 care for your product
With such phony enthusiasm you are trying to sell it
Adding for personal touch with your so not true story with a twist
Since my ego is up for a boost
Flattering with striking conversation
You even say you would like to plan
To visit India some time soon
You even include me on a preferred customer list
So, I prefer for my name to be crossed out
With immediate effect
Before I yell and cuss for taking me away
From very important time of the day
For crying out so loud
I知 watching my favorite show's final episode
So leave me alone
For now I知 banging receiver down
oh yeah! Thanks, I知 doing just fine
Since you decided to ask me again
Now go take a big hike
And just for your knowledge you lack
I知 Ms. Malik since you insist addressing me Mr. Malik
even after striking long conversation
Now finally answer to your question
What credit card I知 to use for your promotion
Once again go take a hike
With the script full of crap that you speak
Have a nice day
May you get such responses everyday

Oh, I do hope you will really say this...
This is wonderful humor and made me sigh with complete satisfaction that you know exactly what to do the next time a telephone salesperson attacks you. 
I answered a DISH saleswoman in rhyme last week and have been waiting anxiously for the next sales call because it is SO MUCH FUN TO answer them in rhyme! My very sedate husband laughed out loud from the next room when he heard what I said. 
You will do really well with this fine script, dear Poet.
