True or False?

Bruno has authorized a one-time payment of 30,000 dollars.

True or False?

Bruno has authorized a one-time payment of 30,000 dollars.
This statement is not true.
This statement is false. Bruno has requested that the writer's fee (compensation for the author of a document or book) be paid in two installments: half (50%) upon commission and half upon completion, meaning that the author will be paid a portion of money after accepting the job, and the rest after finishing it. Also, Bruno writes that the 30,000 dollars is the maximum amount Susie is authorized to spend, so this won't necessarily be the fee he is paid.

Polly uses a very common and important expression in this conversation. It is used when we do something "on the part of" someone else, "for" them, or "in their place".

"I am calling on behalf of Bruno Delavigne, who asked me to contact you regarding our meeting."

(Hint: We are looking for just 1 word)
behalf: "On behalf of" is a phrase which means "on the part of" or "for" in most contexts. This expression is often found in letters (I am writing on behalf of the citizens of San Francisco), or on the telephone (I am calling on behalf of my client, Bruno Delavigne). Polly uses this expression to explain to Harold that she is calling for Bruno Delavigne or on his part.
