When Peters learned that he was being fired, he went to see the head of human resources. "Since I've been with the firm for so long," he said, "I think I deserve at least a letter of recommendation."
The human resources director agreed and said he'd have the letter the next day. The following morning, Peters found a letter on his desk. It read, "Jonathan Peters worked for our company for 11 he left us, we were very satisfied."
彼得斯聽說自己被解僱了，便去見人力資源部的頭頭。“既然我在公司幹了這麼久，”他說，“我想至少該給我一封推薦信。”
人力資源部主任同意了，並說他第二天就可拿到該信。第二天早上，彼得斯在他的'桌子上看一封信，上面寫道：“喬納森·彼得斯在我們公司幹了11年。當他離去的時候，我們很滿意。”
