Distant water won't help to put out a fire close at hand.
Simply substitute each letter with the one three letters before it. (Example: H = E, D = A, etc.) For letters A, B, and C, just start over at the end of the alphabet. (Example: A = X, C = Z)
Key:
A = X
B = Y
C = Z
D = A
E = B
F = C
G = D
H = E
I = F
J = G
K = H
L = I
M = J
N = K
O = L
P = M
Q = N
R = O
S = P
T = Q
U = R
V = S
W = T
X = U
Y = V
Z = W
