Me: Hello?
Telemarketer: Hi, I'm calling from [something] Vacations? I had you down to come hear a presentation?
Me: Yes, and then I got fired, so I won't be buying any timeshares anytime soon. Could you please remove me from your list?
Telemarketer: Fired? OK, whatever.

Dear whatever-your-name-was: I'm sooooo sorry that my unemployment disrupted your day. I really hate to think that I caused you any inconvenince in your plans to sell unnecessary stuff to unwilling people by, oh, losing my job and therefore having no source of income, thus being concerned about how to pay the mortgage. I cancelled my appointment despite the promise of free tickets to Vegas -- one because I didn't trust you to deliver, and two because I didn't feel right taking said free tickets to Vegas and wasting your saleperson's time when there was no way in hell I was going to put money down on a vacation.

OK, fine, I also decided to hell with free tickets, life is too damn short to sit through an hour-and-a-half hard-sell on timeshare. Sorry, Lotti and John, if I can't make it to Vegas in December -- even for you, I couldn't do that to myself.
