Miouri Automotive Group Interim Headquarters Salt Lake City, Utah 9/19/2025 NAME DELETED Dear NAME DELETED, It is with great excitement and deep respect that we extend this formal offer for you to join Miouri Automotive Group as our Vice President of Operations. Your leadership, operational mastery, and commitment to technician culture align powerfully with Miouri’s founding vision: to build a legacy-grade brand rooted in restoration excellence, serialized build mythology, and immersive educational environments. As Vice President of Operations, you will serve as a cornerstone of our executive team, overseeing build logistics, technician onboarding, ceremonial delivery protocols, and the activation of our interim headquarters.

You will help shape the rhythm, ritual, and reliability of every build, every technician journey, and every delivery moment. Your leadership will echo through our halls, our garages, and our stories. To accept this offer, please sign and return the enclosed agreement by 10/06/2025. We are eager to welcome you into the Miouri mythos and begin this next chapter together. With admiration and anticipation, Josh Evans Founder & CEO Miouri Automotive Group Family member responded to email, communicating also by phone with Mr Evans. He arranged a meet date at a location on Jimmy Doolittle Drive in Salt Lake City, (no address that he 'could recall' during phone call.) He wanted to introduce her to 'everyone there' and stated that he had her 'signing bonus check' to give to her at that meeting. He cancelled meeting and said it would probably take place in a few more days. That was the last time communication by phone call took place. Next two were texts only, using his travel schedule and family emergency as excuses, No further communication was ever received and her texts went unanswered.
