There's this 1988 book, "The Lexicon of Intentionally Ambiguous Recommendations", full of lines like - I can't recommend him highly enough - I most enthusiastically recommend this man with no qualifications whatsoever - You'll be lucky to get him to work for you - No person would be better for the job and - I am pleased to say that this candidate is a former colleague of mine
