letter draft question

Hi,

I am planning to file for EB1-OR soon. A guy in IBM/Almaden wrote the draft for me. Could somebody please comment on the following passage?

"From these papers... it is clear that he is an outstanding research worker. For a person who has received the Ph.D. degree just a few years ago, he has an excellent record of publications. I also notice from his Curriculum Vitae that he has reviewed papers for several international journals, and has also presented papers at many conferences worldwide."

Is it OK, or I should ask to remove "For a person who has received the Ph.D. degree just a few years ago" and "I also notice from his CV"?

The reason is that those sentences might create an impression of that "promising young scientist" and that the person didn't know me at all before looking at my CV and reading few of my papers, which is pretty bad impression for OR, as far as I understand.

Thanks a lot

I agree. I don't like those comments. Also, when he comments about your publications, have him single one out and elaborate on why it was important.
