Yes that's your first intro point. Take a look around at some examples of witness statements to form and layout. If you refer to a document within the statement you must mark that paragraph with " See exhibit number xx " after that paragraph/sentence, and attach all the documents to the statements.

Statement must be finalised with the current statement of truth.

Sure no problem...although the content will be yours I can check its compliant with CPR. Lack of pre action protocol can have have  an adverse effect on the claimants costs (if awarded) with regards to costs should your friend lose the claim.
