Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi,

Hello. It has been far too long since we saw each other last. I assume that you heard about the attack on my life on the landing platform. I do not know whether or not Mace Windu told you, but he said that he would have you report to me. You are supposed to be my Jedi protector.

It was Chancellor Palpatine's idea. I came into his office because the Loyalist Committee was supposed to meet with him this morning. I'm the committee's leader, and so I showed up. By the time that I got there, the Jedi Council was leaving. Chanacellor Palpatine and the Jedi Council talked about me, and Chancellor Palpatine suggested that the Council protect me, and further, he suggested you. He figured that it would be rather inconvenient to have a Jedi protector around me all the time, so Chancellor Palpatine suggested you…because I knew you. Master Windu quickly agreed.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Senator Padme Amidala
