Dad,
I'm sorry didn't give you all the information about the danger I've been in. I didn't want to unnecessarily worry you but I suppose it didn't matter how much I tried to keep you from worrying. When I first arrived in Coruscant several days ago, there was an attack on my life and my decoy was killed in my place. Because of this, the Jedi Council and Chancellor Palpatine decided the Jedi needed to take over my protection to ensure that my safety would be secure. I'm sorry I didn't tell you everything and I'll understand if you're very upset with me.
Last night, there was another attack on my life. The bounty hunter was actually in my room but the Jedi got there in time before anything could happen to me. The Jedi are actually being pretty thorough with their protection of me and are sending Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to figure out who hired the bounty hunter. Both the Jedi and the Chancellor have ordered me to leave Coruscant in light of all these recent events so I'll be leaving for Naboo was soon as I'm able to.
Although I know you're probably worried out of your mind right now, I hope knowing who my Jedi protector is will ease your worries a little. My protector is actually Anakin Skywalker. Do you remember him at all? He's the reason Naboo still has its freedom from the Trade Federation. I knew him well during that time but lost contact with him after he started his Jedi training. From what I've heard and seen, he's a very capable and very skilled Jedi. And also, given that he's an old friend, he's assured me that he isn't going to let anything happen to me. If it makes you feel any better, we're going to be traveling on a public transport undercover as fugitives. I trust him and so should you.
I know this is a lot to digest right now and I hope when I get back to Naboo, you won't be too upset with me. I know you only want me to be safe and as it turns out, so do a lot of people. I need to meet with Queen Jamillar as soon as I arrive on Naboo but I'll contact you and Mom when we land.
Please try not to worry so much and I'll see you soon.
Your daughter,
Padme
