Sometimes, there are little things that we would like to write to somebody, but they seem too little to deserve an entire new email.
So we wait for a more important communication to "piggyback" it and add this little piece of additional information.
In speech, I would introduce the minor topic with "While I’m here". Is there an equivalent idiom for written communication? Or does "while I’m here" still work, even if my literal location hasn’t changed?
Example:
To: landlordGood morning,
The technician came and he said the repair will be £350. You might prefer to contact him directly for details.
[While I’m here], I should mention that a couple of letters arrived for you yesterday, but they are most likely spam.

Answer
Sounds like you’re describing a postscript.
Good morning,
The technician came and he said the repair will be £350. You might prefer to contact him directly for details.
