If you are using a lens that allows you to manually set the aperture you must set the F stop to its smallest aperture and you should then lock it using the small tab, if there is one, beside the aperture scale.
If the aperture is set manually to something other than the smallest opening (ex: f22) you will get the fEE error in the viewfinder.
At least that is the only time I have seen this error.

I use a pencil eraser on the lenses and then canned air to remove the residue. I have used a pencil eraser on the camera with the lens mount pointed towards the floor. When I was done cleaning the camera contacts, I then cleaned the sensor.
If cleaning the contacts doesn't fix your problem, then send the camera and lens to Nikon for repair.

Since you can't send it off today, I would call Nikon first thing in the morning (1-800-645-6678)and see what the turn around time is for the repair. Tell them when you need the camera back and maybe they can get it fixed in that amount of time. See if they can fix it faster in Melville, NY or El Segundo, CA and then ship it to that repair facility.
Melville Repair is:
Nikon Inc.
Camera Repair Dept.
1300 Walt Whitman Rd.
Melville, NY 11747-3064
El Segundo Repair is:
Nikon Inc.
Camera Repair Dept.
841 Apollo St.
Suite 100
El Segundo, CA 90245-4721
If you preapprove a repair cost, that can speed things up by a week if it is not under warranty.
