Steve Jobs's resignation letter

Steve Jobs's resignation letter


Here is the text of a letter sent by Steve Jobs to Apple employees, as
he announced his resignation as Apple’s CEO on Wednesday.


To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer
meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first
to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board
sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our
succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it.
And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a
new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank
you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve
