Lithuanian term or phrase: Sveikinimo žodis
Knygos įvadas, kuriame autorius kreipiasi į skaitytojus, pristato save ir pačią knygą. Įprastai rašyčiau Introduction arba Welcome, bet knygos dizainas (spavinė išvaizda ir išdėstymas) reikalauja 2 žodžių junginio.

neutral  Rita Vaicekonyte: Tokio darinio būti negali. Yra tik preface ir viskas. -- Keliuose šimtuose angliškų knygų tokio darinio sutikti nepavyko. Yra tik author's foreword, jei būtini 2 žodžiai.

To Our Readers


Explanation:
“To Our Readers”, as a section title, might fit the typographical space of two words - as you requested.

It is sometimes used by reputable organisations/publishers, as an alternative to Preface, Foreword or Introduction.
Take a look at the four examples below.

Interestingly, a different wording “To the Reader” brings up images of quite old books, thus perhaps not suitable for your intent.
