My grandfather, who was a well-respected man, had held several positions of confidence in the rural community where he had a small farm.
Once he served on the Tax Board. It was in a time when rules were more lax and records not strictly kept. He told me of a letter he once received from one of the big farmers in the community:
Dear Sir,
Lately I have not been sleeping well. I realise that it is due bad consciense. I might occasionally not have informed you of all my income. I would like to make up for my faults and I therefore enclose a cheque of 5000 kroner.
Yours Faithfully.
NB! If I still have problems sleeping, I will send another cheque.
