Table, telephone, paper work - This shows the audience that he is in an office and that it is his job.
Pen - The pen he is clicking shows that hes anxious, and nervous about what its in the letter. You can hear the pen clicking quite loud, unrealistic as it wouldn't be this loud if you were there.

Clothes - He is wearing a suit, smart clothing; which shows hes working in an office. Same with the women wearing smart clothing and hearing high heal footsteps.

Yellow Taxis - This shows he is in New York.
Traffic - Shows the busy environment, showing he is in a place like New York.
