Reference for Terumot 4:4

הָאוֹמֵר לִשְׁלוּחוֹ, צֵא וּתְרֹם, תּוֹרֵם כְּדַעְתּוֹ שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבָּיִת. אִם אֵינוֹ יוֹדֵעַ דַּעְתּוֹ שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת, תּוֹרֵם כְּבֵינוֹנִית, אֶחָד מֵחֲמִשִּׁים. פִּחֵת עֲשָׂרָה אוֹ הוֹסִיף עֲשָׂרָה, תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה. אִם נִתְכַּוֵּן לְהוֹסִיף אֲפִלּוּ אַחַת, אֵין תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה:

One who says to his messenger: “Go and set aside <i>Terumah</i> [for me],” [the messenger] should set aside <i>Terumah</i> according to the mind of the owner. If he does not know the mind of the owner, he gives according to the average [amount]—one out of fifty. If he gave ten [parts] less or ten [parts] more, his <i>Terumah</i> is [valid] <i>Terumah</i>. If his intention was to add even one part more, his <i>Terumah</i> is not [valid] <i>Terumah</i>.
