Please review the attached documents (will send screenshoy). Write an investigative summary of any three documents in this module. The summaries should be no longer than a paragraph; all three should fit on one single-spaced page (or longer if you choose). Use the format and writing style that are in the various example affidavits that you’ve been reading throughout the semester. Detail and context (the “why it matters”) are usually the most critical. 
HINT: Remember that we want to capture the most interesting data and what relevance it has to the overall investigation. Help the adjudicator “connect the dots” by showing material misstatements, omissions, or contradictory information.

Hon. Sally Helms-Carter

State of Flux, Inspector General

Dear Inspector General Helms-Carter:

Thank you for the opportunity to provide the required documents under Subpoena 19-MC-29293, specifically regarding the travel imbursements submitted to the County Treasurer by Mr. Ronald Sanders. As you are aware, Mr. Sanders was my campaign manager and helped me win the election several years ago. However, in light of the subpoena and following the review of certain documents and information this date we have provided an official notice of suspension from all duties with the Moore County Government to Mr. Sanders, pending a full investigation by yourself and any other law enforcement.

In addition, due to numerous discrepancies and concerns regarding possible improper conduct, I have asked our Corporation Counsel to retain Larcey, Billups, and Creel, LLP, Counselors at Law, to perform an external investigation of the entire travel reimbursement process. As you know, I believe transparency and action are key elements to a successful government organization. No one is above the law, including those closest to the top. As a way of repairing the potential damage, I am also asking for any management recommendations and analysis that your office can provide, once the criminal investigation portion has concluded.

I hope this letter and the accompanying documents which are responsive to the subpoena can assist your investigation. I remain committed to preserving the integrity of this county government and wish to assist in any way I can. I have also asked Corporation Counsel Robert Samuel to extend to your office any assistance necessary. Thank you again for your assistance in this matter and I look forward to reviewing the final outcome and recommendations.

Yours sincerely,

Philip J. Wilson
Moore County Commissioner

IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION OF EMPLOYMENT
Dear Mr. Sanders:
In light of the review of certain documents and information provided by the Flux Office of Inspector General, this letter serves as your official notice of suspension from all duties with the Moore County Government. Due to numerous discrepancies and concerns regarding possible improper conduct, as Corporation Counsel, in consultation with the Moore County Human Resources Division, have determined that your conduct warrants immediate suspension, pending full termination.
Upon receipt of the subpoena duces tecum from the Flux Inspector General regarding possible travel reimbursement fraud, a review was conducted by myself and I have determined, in consultation with County Commissioner Philip J. Wilson, that the conduct appears to be grounds for termination. Moore County Government is committed to transparency and the rule of law, and thus will cooperate fully with the Inspector General’s probe. In addition, the County has retained Larcey, Billups, and Creel, LLP, Counselors at Law, to perform an external investigation of the entire travel reimbursement process.
Ms. Carolyn Simpson, Executive Director for Human Capital, is the point of contact from now on. Any personal effects will be mailed to your home address. You will also be paid your accrued entitlements and outstanding remuneration, including superannuation, up to and including your last day of employment, which will be determined following the conclusion of the investigation.
You are hereby prohibited from accessing any government issued computer networks, buildings, spaces, offices, or other areas owned or controlled by Moore County without prior authorization by myself. Please inform your personal attorney of this fact. They may contact me if they desire to establish any follow-up meetings or to make other arrangements. Please do not hesitate to have them reach out regarding this decision.
Yours sincerely,
Electronically signed Robert E. Samuel, Corp. Counsel
