Thread: because, for this reason

"Having that said," is a good option to replace "for this reason" with. You could also say something like "Given the aforementioned information." There are plenty of options at your disposal. Your choices are OK, but it's better not to repeat the word "this," since you're stating it later on in the sentence. You could say "Incidentally," as well.

My story is an odd one, heh. I was adopted from Ukraine in an orphanage at a very early age by American parents, so I never learned Russian. I've been living in the US ever since. That's why I'm here - and to help people with their English of course. :P
