Isn't 1. "whomever", since it appears as the direct objectThe directly affected object of the verb; the receiver of the action. E.g.: Who has taken a piece of my bread? ("a piece of my bread") in the sentence?
If whoever is the object
If whoever is the objectA person or thing that is affected by the action of a verb or involved in the result of an action. of the clauseA group of related words containing a subject and a verb. which it is used in, we can replace it with whomever. However, even in this case most speakers use whoever.
Ask whoever/whomever you trust.
Ask whoever is the most reliable.
In the first sentence above, whoever is the object of the clause, therefore we can also use whomever. In the second sentence, whoever is the subjectThe person or thing that performs the action of a verb or that is described by a verb. E.g.: Andy has never been to Brunei. ("Andy") of the clause, so whomever is not possible.
In the first example sentence of the comment posted by Anonymous, we can also use whomever:
It does not matter if you tell whomever/whoever you want that I am leaving by the end of this month.
