cold-calls from Worthy Causes
RING
Good afternoon.
Hello, sir. This is [insert name here], with the [insert worthy cause here]. Did you know that [insert sob story here]? Many citizens like yourself are contributing at a level of $25 or $50. Which may I put you down for?
You may put me down for "Do Not Call."
I understand completely, sir; would $15 or $20 be more comfortable for you?
You may put me down for "Do Not Call."
Shall I put you down for $10 then?
You may put me down for "Do Not Call." Please put me on your "Do Not Call" list. Please Do Not Call Me. Ever.
All right, sir, I can do that.

Seriously, if I had been interested in donating to this particular Worthy Cause (which, BTW, also called the night before last while we were making dinner), I would no longer be.
