Author's Notes:

1. I do not own SW or any of the official SW characters.

2. These letters should not be taken literally

3. This story is AU

4. I'm having co-writers write the part of Palpatine.

The Author of each of these Notes will be clearly labled.

Timeframe: From TPM events (around the time of when Anakin is rejected by the Jedi Council) through ROTJ events

The quick background story of the Palpatine and Anakin Notes-

Anakin has just been rejected b the Jedi Council. After he was rejected, he was sitting in a hallway in the Jedi Temple. He was sitting in the hallway and was crying when suddenly Palpatine noticed him. Palpatine sat down with Anakin and listened to him, comforting the boy. Palpatine knew very well who Anakin was; he had heard Padme praise him. From talking with Anakin, he knew just how determined Qui-Gon was to have Anakin trained. Because of all this, Palpatine suspects that Anakin is very powerful. He also knows of Anakin's deep desire to become a Jedi. Palpatine, of course, has other plans for the boy.

and so these Notes begin...

Note 1:
Dear Senator Palpatine,

You probably don't know who I am, because I'm only a 9 year old…but my name is Anakin Skywalker. I met the queen of your planet, Queen Amidala…I really like her. She said that because of you, Naboo was saved. She said you helped make sure things ran in the Senate and worked out for Naboo.

Remember, I was the little boy you talked to in the Senate building who was rejected by the Jedi Council, and that was crying? You said you could help me make sure I didn't starve to death.

I just wanted to thank you for that. I met Padmé (Amidala) when she was trying to get to Coruscant. They had to land on my planet so that they could repair their ship. Qui-Gon helped free me….see I was a slave…..and he wanted me to be a Jedi. I've always dreamed of being a Jedi!!!!!

Well, I went with Qui-Gon and Padmé to Naboo. We had to convince the Gungans to help us, and do a battle to draw the Trade Federation droids away from the palace. Padmé, who I found out was really Queen Amidala…did you know that?…well she is going to the palace, and I'm coming with her. We're on our way now.

You're probably really busy right now, and you probably don't care.

Padme said that you were nominated to become Supreme Chancellor. Did you get the position? I hope you did! You seem like you deserved it.

Well, I'm sorry to have bothered you, kind sir, so I'll shut-up now. I just wanted to thank you for what you did for me and Padmé.

Anakin Skywalker
