You’re welcome to start with “Hi”, “Hello” or even “Greetings, my lord” but please don’t just leave it at that. Follow up with your actual question immediately so the recipient knows what you need and if it’s urgent.
You can say it as a polite prelude…it just has to be an immediate part of the message. Not just “hi” then waiting for a response. The latter pisses everyone off.
