You personify the HP Way

Dearest Rob,

First and foremost, I would like to thank you for being there for me over the last 5 years.

When you took me in to the LHTP program, I was frustrated with my career progress in HP.  I still recall during the interview, I spoke with much truthfulness and angst about how I've felt, and such candor would have turned many hiring manager running.  But you gave me a chance.

Over the next 5 years, you've been a great manager, an inspiring leader and most importantly a mentor to me.  I've excelled, stumbled and sometimes just stagger along, but you never failed to be there for me.  For all that you've done for me, all that you've taught me, I'm forever grateful to you.  Thank you Rob!

Though we may part now as boss/subordinate and as colleague, I feel strongly that our relationship will turn now towards one of friendship that develop on the years we have worked together.  I look fowrad to opportunities to visit Australia again, and chances for us to catch up over some beers!  Or should you visit Singapore, please don't forget to call me.

If I were to sum up one of your greatest strength as my manager for the last 5 years, it is that you personify the HP Way.  It's a great loss to our team and HP that we are losing a superb manager like yourself.

Wherever  your career brings you to next Rob, I wish you the very best in all aspects of life.

Please stay in touch & have a great wonderful vacation with your family.

Warmest regards,
Kwee Yin
