Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs
Dear Apple Community,
For the first time in a decade, I?m getting to spend the holiday season with my
family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.
Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off
another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me
on my deathbed.
I?ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we
can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.
As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008.
The reason has been
a mystery to me and my doctors.
A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root
cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.
Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause?a
hormone imbalance that has been ?robbing? me of the proteins my body needs to be
healthy.
Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.
The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward,
and I?ve already begun treatment.
But, just like I didn?t lose this much weight and
body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this
Spring to regain it.
I will continue as Apple?s CEO during my recovery.
I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now.
I will be the
first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to
fulfill my duties as Apple?s CEO.
I hope the Apple community will support me in my
recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.
So now I?ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about
this.
Steve
