Dear Local Caller,
Please test your writing utensil and make sure it is working properly before you call and ask for a phone number. I am very busy and have more important things to do than wait for you to rummage through all your kitchen drawers, then holler at someone to hand you a "pen what writes", then wait some more while that someone is making their way through the house at the pace of a snail.
Thank you for your consideration!

Dear Caller from Out-of-Area,
Please don't get huffy and puffy with me because I won't look up a telephone number for you. Neither you nor the person you are looking for are members of this organization. Our members pay dues, which entitle them to use me as their talking phone book. You don't. So please call directory assistance; or - since you told me you had internet access - do a Google search to find the local white pages online. They are there. I use them all the time.
Respectfully yours,
Your Chamber Administrator
