Upon your authorization

You usually put this at the start or end of a sentence. It works best in emails or formal letters. Use it when you want to show you respect someone's authority. For example, Upon your authorization, I will process the payment. It sounds much more polished than just saying 'Tell me when to pay.' It makes you look like a pro who follows rules.

This is perfect for the office. Use it with your boss or a client. It is great for big decisions like spending money or starting a project. You can also use it in legal or medical situations. If you are a freelancer, use it to show you are waiting for a contract. It keeps you safe because you aren't acting without permission.

Do not use this with your best friends. It will sound like you are a robot. If you ask your partner, Upon your authorization, I will eat this pizza, they might think you are joking or being sarcastic. Avoid it in casual texts or at the gym. It is too stiff for a Saturday night out. Keep it for the 9-to-5 world.

Western business culture values hierarchy and clear paper trails. This phrase comes from a need for accountability. In the past, people needed physical signatures for everything. Today, an email 'yes' counts as authorization. Using this phrase shows you understand the 'chain of command.' It is a verbal way of bowing to the person with the power.

You might hear Pending your approval or Subject to your consent. These mean almost the same thing. Upon your go-ahead is a bit more relaxed. If you want to be even more formal, try Contingent upon your formal authorization. But for most business cases, the original phrase is the 'Goldilocks' choice—just right.
