Limited working proficiency

Kelvin had been a joy to work with, dedicated and conscientious.  He is hard-working and also a smart worker.  Punctual and respectful, Kelvin has been easy to work with, an example of a model employee.  He got along with all his co-workers and no one had anything negative to say about him.  If I had the opportunity to take him back and work in my new division, I would not hesitate to do so.
