Hi

As a native speaker, would you say that all of the following sentences are correct and natural?

Hello

Hi Tom

The naturalness of your various examples would be dependent on the broader context to a very great degree. Generally speaking 3,4 and 5 would probably only be used in a formal context, and 4 in particular runs a huge risk of sounding very stilted.

Dear Amy

The whole context is just one simple question: Shocked

Hi Tom

1, 3, 6 and 8 sound natural.
