Dear President/Managing Director,
I am writing to inform you that I will be leaving my position as CEO, Asia & Middle East Operations Group, and as President of Toyota Motor Asia Pacific Pte Ltd in Singapore (TMAP-MS) and Toyota Motor Asia Pacific Engineering & Manufacturing Co. Ltd in Thailand (TMAP-EM), with effect from 01 April, 2015.
During my assignment, I have greatly enjoyed the experience and I am grateful for the hospitality and friendship you have extended me. Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for your support and cooperation. During this time, I am proud to have defined with my colleagues on what Toyota aspires to be in this region – Asia Dream & Vision Towards 2025. Although I am now unable to execute this vision myself, I feel assured that Toyota’s future in the region is in good hands, and we shall continue to contribute to the development of society and bring smiles to the people of Asia.
I will be succeeded by Mr. Kyoichi Tanada for the 3 aforementioned positions. Mr. Tanada has vast experience working in this region, and I request you to extend the same generous support and cooperation to him as you have given me.
My new assignment is at Tokyo Toyota Motor Co. Ltd. Should the opportunity arise, I shall be delighted to see you again in the future. Lastly, I wish you great success in all your future endeavours, and may your road ahead be filled with good health, happiness and prosperity.
Best regards,
