You do'nt need to make clear everything in writing your letter of separation - you can refer to key dates and supporting documentation (such as, when you disciplined employees or warned them verbally, and transcriptions of reformatory interviews). The jobholder should call your state department of labor or go to your state's website to get the requirements for filing. Certainly in this case you would want to say something positive about the worker's past performance in a more positive light.
