Interviewer: Hello Azeezat, How are you?

Azeezat: I am fine, thank you for asking.

Interviewer: Can you tell us about yourself?

Azeezat: I am Azeezat Soliu Atinuke, I am the fifth child of six children and a mother to a wonderful child. I currently work as a janitor with Total Facilities Management Limited.

Interviewer: How did you discover the envelope?

Azeezat: It was a normal workday until I went to the mosque and found an envelope. I was skeptical at first but summon the courage to touch it since a colleague was present. I checked and was shocked to find a huge sum of foreign currency. I decided to give it to the Imam of the Mosque during the 4 pm prayers so he could announce it. Nobody claimed it so I was made to take it home with me the next day. Someone eventually came to claim the money and was so pleased that he appreciated me with 100 dollars.

Interviewer: What was your initial reaction to finding such a large sum of money?

Azeezat: I was absolutely in shock because I was holding a sum that will pay my salary for years.

Interviewer: Did you ever consider eeping the money? Why or why not?

Azeezat: Keeping the money never crossed my mind. Growing up, I would lose twice any amount that is not mine and I pick for myself.

Interviewer: How did you feel after returning the envelope?

Azeezat: I felt fulfilled, yes, I have had several people praise my act while others condemned it saying the money could have changed my life. Yes, the money could have changed my life but it doesn’t change the fact that it was never mind and I will eventually loose twice that amount sometime in the future.

Interviewer: Has this experience impacted your perspective on your job at TFML?

Azeezat: Yes it has made me more popular, People know me more now and they are always complimenting me more these days. I am just glad to be identified as a good role model for TFML.
