以下為辭職信全文：

　　給蘋(píng)果董事會(huì)和蘋(píng)果公司：

　　我常說(shuō)，如果有那么一天，我無(wú)法再勝任蘋(píng)果CEO，無(wú)法再達(dá)到大家的期望值，我會(huì)在第一時(shí)間告訴你們。不幸的是，那個(gè)日子終于到了。

　　在此，我宣布辭去蘋(píng)果首席執(zhí)行官職務(wù)。如果董事會(huì)認(rèn)為合適的話，我想擔(dān)任董事長(zhǎng)，或者董事甚至普通職員都可以。

　　至于我的繼任者，我強(qiáng)烈建議實(shí)施我們已定的繼任計(jì)劃，并提名蒂姆·庫(kù)克擔(dān)任蘋(píng)果CEO。

　　我認(rèn)為，蘋(píng)果最光明和最具創(chuàng)新力的日子還在后頭。我期待著在新的崗位上看護(hù)蘋(píng)果的成功并為此做出貢獻(xiàn)。

　　在蘋(píng)果我交了一些生命中最好的朋友，我要感謝多年來(lái)與我共同努力的所有人。(木秀林)

　　附辭職信英文原文：

　　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.
