Steve Jobs Sends Support Message to Employees

This morning, Steve Jobs reportedly issued a message to all Apple employees concerning team members affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Originally posted on chihouban.com, the content of the email is as follows:

To Our Team in Japan,


We have all been following the unfolding disaster in Japan. Our hearts go out to you and your families, as well as all of your countrymen who have been touched by this tragedy.


If you need time or resources to visit or care for your families, please see HR and we will help you. If you are aware of any supplies that are needed, please also tell HR and we will do what we can to arrange delivery.


Again, our hearts go out to you during this unimaginable crisis.


Please stay safe.


Steve and the entire Executive Team

Following the crisis, the Sendai Ichibancho Apple Store, though relatively undamaged, announced temporary closure. Located just eight miles from the coast, the store skirted the tsunami wave which swept six miles inland. In an effort to assist not only affected Apple employees, but everyone affected in the disaster, Apple has enabled Red Cross donations within iTunes. If you’d like to donate, please click here.
