following morning, Peters found the letter on
his desk. It read, "Jonathan Peters worked

senior CPA knew everything there was to know

years no one dared to breach etiquette and snoop
through his desk, but his odd behavior became
something of a legend around the office.

one junior accountant could control himself no
longer. Taking a letter opener he carefully pried
open the desk lock.
Inside he found one sheet of paper, and written
in large letters was:
"DEBITS ON THE LEFT...CREDITS ON THE RIGHT"
