To Toyota's Board of Directors,

I am not sure of the reaction of me being CEO in Japan. Nonetheless, my pursuit of the CEO role at Toyota has already ignited a fierce marketing competition for trucks in the United States. CEOs are well aware of my marketing skills, prompting them to quickly ramp up their truck promotions. For instance, while I was taking a break and attempting to play chess on my phone, I first came across an advertisement for Ford trucks.

The 1998 Silverado is known for its exceptional build quality, but that reputation has sadly faded for GM. The truck I own, as shown above, rivals—if not surpasses—the build quality of Toyota. However, it does raise an interesting contradiction to have a potential Toyota CEO driving a Chevrolet, much like Lee Iacocca driving a Mustang during his time at Chrysler. I considered selling it, but I wouldn't part with it for less than a firm $49,000. So, I've opted to hold onto it for now, allowing us to test and benchmark it against our top contenders. If GM ever manufactures a truck of this caliber again, we will face serious challenges. It’s evident that people are already reacting to me as if I were the new CEO. The same sentiment applies to all of Toyota's rivals.

Significant developments are anticipated this week, particularly reaching out to Spencer Stuart to confirm that there is indeed an executive position available for me in Texas. Following that, plan to acquire that house as part of my signing bonus. If these two actions come to fruition, I will formally approach the president to discuss lifting the restrictions on my mobility and explore further options regarding tariffs. Just wait until I set my sights on Mercedes. Specifically, getting Mercedes to compete with Lexus in marketing will elevate Lexus to the same status. You have no idea how much fun this is for me.

Highest regards,

William T. Voris

CEO - Toyota Motor Corporation
