Language is so tricky. Adding that extra sentence would make the note more passive aggressive, at least to my ear. Suppose you were looking for a Python programmer, and I sent you these two notes: (1) Joe asked me to put him in touch with you. Joe tells me he has a lot of experience with Python. Here's his email address. (2) Joe asked me to put him in touch with you. Joe tells me he has a lot of experience with Python, and I have no reason not to believe him. Here's his email address. The second one would leave me far more skeptical about the recommendation.
