I think that this statement ‘please do not make any more unpleasant phone calls’ is vague. I think this way because the statement shows that the person is irritated or angry and is forbidding the person to call and keeping this in mind, the following questions arise:
·   The person is just being asked to not make any ‘unpleasant’ calls; can the caller make pleasant ones?
·   What does the person want to express when he/she says ‘unpleasant’; unpleasant to one person may not be so for the other one.

Unpleasant needs clarity. For example, Please don't make any more phone calls + because + reason.  Your next sentence of your paragraph introduces your evidence--how and why.
