Note 1:
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine,

Congratulations on your new election, Supreme Chancellor. It is customary for the Jedi Coucil to offically contact new Supreme Chancellors.

As you are probably already aware, the Jedi Council pledges to protect the Republic and guard peace and justice. If there is any way that the Jedi Council can ever help you maintain peace and justice, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please understand that the Jedi Council runs itself, and everything sent to us is only a request. I hope that you take your new responsibilities seriously.

Mace Windu, head of the Jedi Council
