• I enjoy traveling and wanna earn more money, so I accept.

• I don't mind traveling thru an extended area, and honestly I would really like the opportunity to advance my career and who doesnt want extra money, I accept and thank you.

You work in an office with cubicles, and you would like to ask for noise-canceling headphones to cut down on the distractions. This is the best way to phrase your request.

• Firstly, I would like to ask you for noise-canceling headphones because everybody is talking and I cant concentrate on my work.

• First of all, their is so much noise that I can't hear the customers on the phone. Headphones are a must, in my opinion.

• First, noise canceling headphones would be good. I think we could work better. Our times would be more efficient too.

• First, due to the noise level, noise-canceling headphones would benefit not just me, but everyone on the sales floor.
