If so send me a message. Need some advice

I've worked for such a position and here were the rules:
1. Register
You don't know their name:
- Dear Sir/Madam
You know their name:
- Dear Mr./Ms. name
You've met them or they are your colleagues (slightly informal):
- Dear name
Very informal (colleagues, depending on organizational structure):
Corporation:
Dear name
Small, Mid-sized company:
Hello name
Never write nameless:
Dear,
2. Follow-up
- as per position requirement (pro-active)
- only write to a person if your message needs a consequence (question,..). Don't write if you don't require feedback
3. They don't pick up
- you leave a message

Couple of questions:
1. How formal are you? Do you write dear and sincerely? Do you use Mr. and Ms?
2. How frequently do you follow up?
3. What do you do if they don't pick up?
Look forward to hearing from you
