Chancellor Palpatine,

Thank you and while I'm glad my presence in the Senate seems to have helped, I can't help but feel as if it hasn't been enough. The Separatists are continuing to escalate their advances on us as we speak and that doesn't even include their recent targeting of the Senate, including yourself. I know you're doing everything in your power to keep this situation from getting even worse but what else can we possibly do? There must be something else that can be done besides negotiations with Count Dook especially since those meetings do not seem to be going as you'd hoped they would and condemning him publicly does not seem to be working either. What other options do we have? War cannot be the only remaining option.

I know there's been some talk within the Senate about involving the Jedi and I think this may be an option to seriously consider. The Jedi will be able to help us keep this situation under control and if war does break out, it would be highly beneficial for everyone if the Jedi were behind us. Have you spoken with anyone on the Jedi Council about this matter? If so, what is their opinion on our best course of action?

Please do not worry about me. There are so much more important matters to be concerned with than my safety. Your safety, for example, is considerably more necessary than mine. While I do understand that being the head of the Loyalist Committee has acquired me some dangerous enemies, that doesn't even compare to what would happen within the Senate if something were to happen to you. It would be nothing short of complete chaos.

If it eases your mind, I have promised my parents that I will return to Naboo in the event there is another attack on my life.

I'm sorry this is so brief, but as you know, there hasn't been much time to spare given the current state of our galaxy. Please be safe and we will speak again soon.

Senator Amidala
