Arabic term or phrase: أما بعد..
Is there an equivalent to "Amma Ba'd" in English?
Amma Ba'd is the term used when writing "Arabic" letters. It usually comes directly after the introduction/all the greetings(how are you and how's your health, the family the neighbours... etc) and before starting on the heart (the main part) of the letter.

... and thereafter
Explanation:
This is the most suitable equivalent that I know. It is commonly used in Islamic sermons, essays, and other text, to separate the traditional preamble that contains the praise of Allah and His prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), and the reminders to fear Allah, from the subject body.

Hope this helps,
