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 years.When he left us, we were very satisfied."

彼得斯聽(tīng)說(shuō)自己被解雇了，便去見(jiàn)人力資源部的頭頭。“既然我在公司干了這么久，”他說(shuō)，“我想至少該給我一封推薦信?！?/span>

人力資源部主任同意了，并說(shuō)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·彼得斯在我們公司干了11年。當(dāng)他離去的時(shí)候，我們很滿意。”
