Now select the TRUE statements.

There may be more than one correct choice!
This is a false statement. There is no evidence from the letter that Bob will soon stop working for Delavigne. Performance evaluations can be done at any point in a career and are not necessarily related to an employment period coming to an end.
This is a true statement. The present perfect is used for unfinished time periods. Therefore, as Fred Fuchar writes "Bob has been with you for 5 years", it is clear that Bob's role with Delavigne continues now. If Bob no longer worked as a consultant at Delavigne we would use the past simple to show that this is finished: "Bob worked with you for 5 years".
This is a false statement. The construction, "Used to" + infinitive, describes a past habit that is now finished. For example: Before cars, people used to travel by horse. As Fred Fuchar uses the present perfect to describe Bob's connection with Delavigne ("Bob has been with you for 5 years") it is clear that Bob still works as a consultant for Delavigne (this activity is not finished).
This is a true statement. Fred Fuchar writes: "Bob has been with you for 5 years". This is the present perfect tense (have + past participle) and is used because Bob started working as a consultant at Delavigne 5 years ago and still works there.
