Suggested Format to Request a Clearance:

(Name) Clearance, Call sign, is requesting clearance to (destination), flight level 320, information (current ATIS)

You should mention the flight level just in case there is a discrepancy with the flight plan filed with the company.

Tip: In the case that you did not copy one or two items of the flight plan, try not to say “Say Again.” This phrase would upset the controller. Begin reading back the clearance without stopping. When you get to the fix that you did not quite write down, you can say “I didn’t copy the fix or airway or altitude” and just continue reading back. The controller will only repeat the fixes that you did not understand and the whole process will be quicker.

If you did not copy anything, please be as polite as you can and try the following:

“We are truly sorry, but can you start over again slowly please?”

Statements as polite as this one will make the controller realize that perhaps he was just too quick with his/her message.
