form
In a standard business letter --- well, actually a form notifying the recipient of results of a review --- is there an English equivalent for "ki"? It appears centered on the page with contents below it. Twice in one page, in fact, for what it's worth. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Please make your selection for "ki" depending on what appears following "ki".
In case "ki" is preceded by a sentence such as "xxx is as follows:", "xxx is as the following:" or "xxx is as shown below:", then translation of "ki" is quite often omitted.
The literal translation of "ki"（記） is "description".

You said "notifying the recipient of results of a review". Then it is very much like memo, or additional comments.
