I'm looking for an expression that is used when you have a lot to tell about a specific matter but you will say only a short summary, usually due to courteousness towards the conversation partner, e.g. I am writing someone an email stating something. I have sent him multiple emails before regarding the same subject. So the email will go something like this:
I will not repeat here the points I stated in my previous emails. I will _______ with saying …
I also believe the general form for the expression is "I will _______ with saying …", where ______ means something like being content with.

You can write "I will summarize by saying" or "I will content myself with saying"
Alternatively, you can say "To summarize" or "In summary", preceding any of these with "Therefore" if you wish.
