<p>Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs is going on medical leave for an undetermined amount of time. Here is the email that Steve sent to his fellow Apple employees regarding the matter:</p>

<blockquote><p>Team,</p>

<p>At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.</p>

<p>I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.</p>

<p>I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.</p>

<p>Steve

</p></blockquote>

<p>It should be noted that Steve Jobs took a similar medical leave in January of 2009 before returning to Apple roughly 6 months later.</p>

<p>Get well soon Steve!</p>
