I first saw this email in the recently released book "Make Something Wonderful". It was curated by his widow Laurene Powell Jobs. She would definitely have unprecedented access to his archives and maybe some incentive to persevere his memory (though not all widows are so devoted). For what it's worth, I found the book to be a great tribute to a life and well worth the time spent reading it and the purchase price (it was free a few months ago when it was released): https://books.apple.com/us/book/make-something-wonderful/id6...

On a more personal note, I understand the impulse oppose the deification of Steve Jobs (or anyone else for that matter), but I think doing so without understanding why people look up to him misses something important. As soon as you deviate from the straight well worn path to success you quickly realize that people around you really don't like that you are doing something different (even if it is not that radical). Both strangers and friends will question you, they will criticize you and they will try to make you doubt yourself at every step of the way. Steve Jobs is one of the few dissenting voices who shows you that it can be done and it is important to try. I'm sure there are other people you can point toward for inspiration. There are probably more creative, more compassionate, more ethical folks out there to drive this point home, but that's really not the point.
