I can't believe you just upped my credit limit

Dear Credit Card Company Which Shall Remain Unnamed,

I'm unemployed. I've been unemployed since November of 2008.

I'm transient. In the past 14 months, I've been in six different countries and traversed opposite sides of the globe.

Finally, I'm homeless. I gave up my apartment in August and have been living with friends and family since.

So, why in the world would you up my credit limit? I have no means of repaying any money I spend, and I shouldn't really be in the position to spend indiscriminately. It's highly irresponsible of you to provide me additional credit, and I'm pretty sure if you keep this up, you'll soon be the subject of a congressional hearing.
