Mr. Bradshaw,
Considering we have already had a meeting today, I’m not sure what you feel is important enough to warrant a second conversation. Also, I am very busy. My time is exceptionally valuable.
Sincerely,
Ms. Lucas

Mr. Bradshaw,
Maybe this is something we could handle over email. I have spoken with you enough times to know most of those instances could have easily been an email. As I have stated, my time is limited, and therefore must be allocated in the most judicious of fashions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Lucas

Mr. Bradshaw,
Surely there is some way we can avoid having to waste each other’s time today.
Honestly, at this point, you could have easily explained to me what it is you wish to discuss, and the situation could have been resolved—no meeting required.
There simply isn’t room available in my day for a meeting I don’t even know the reasons for.
