what is the proper way to address the consul general?

No.  Call him "Mister", but address his mail and written correspondence to "The Honourable Mr. _______".\n\nEDIT:\n\nWhoops!  I'm Canadian - that should be "honorable".

Do you know you have categorized this as 'Embassies and consulates'?

Hola, ?podría Ud. traerme a la embajada estadounidense por favor?\n\nNotes: The first question mark should be upside-down.  I don't have that ability on this keyboard.  Also, this translates more accurately to Hello, could you please take me to the american embassy? - a little more polite.\n\nYou could also say,\nHola, favor de traerme a la embajada estadounidense.\nWhich translates more accurately to what you asked for.

Don't be too wordy otherwise it won't really be looked at.  Just be polite and to the point.  Something like;\n\nDear Councilman Ramos,\n\nI'm writing to you about my concern for.......\n\nA concerned citizen,\nQuestion asker guy. (Pardon me, Question asker gal)

This is how I'm expected to do it... it really depends what its for though.\n\n\nTo (Person)\nHead of (Department name)\n\nDear Sir/Madam\nI recieved your invitation (or what the invite type was called) to/for the (name of meeting)\n(If relevant, thank them for the invite; however if it's something you'd normally be expected to attend, then there's no reason to thank them.)\nI regret to inform you I am unable to attend, and am sending my apologies.\n(It is usually polite ettiquette to give reason here.)\nEDIT: you could say: I have a previous appointment that I am unable to reschedule. Please give my apologies for the meeting...\n\nSincerely\n(Your name)\n(Your position in department if relevant)

The next time you go in, simply make a comment such as "You know, all the time I've been coming here and I don't know your name?"  Say it with a smile and pause.  The staff member will be happy to provide you with their name.  Then add "Hi, (insert name here), I'm (your name), it's nice to have a name to put with you."\n\nIt sounds a bit corny, but it's a nice gesture.  Most people don't bother to learn the names of the people who serve them.

Dear Mrs. is the proper formal way

Here's How: \n\n\n1. Use block style - do not indent paragraphs. \n\n2. Include address of the person you are writing to at the top of the letter, below your company address. \n\n3. After the address, double space and include date \n\n4. Double space (or as much as you need to put the body of the letter in the center) and include the salutation. Include Mr. for men or Ms for women, unless the recipient has a title such as Dr. \n\n5. State a reference reason for your letter (i.e. "With reference to our telephone conversation..." \n\n6. Give the reason for writing (i.e. "I am writing to you to confirm our order...") \n\n7. Make any request you may have (i.e. "I would be grateful if you could include a brochure..." \n\n8. If there is to be further contact, refer to this contact (i.e. "I look forward to meeting you at...") \n\n9. Close the letter with a thank you (i.e. "Thank you for your prompt help...") \n\n10. Finish the letter with a salutation (i.e. "Yours sincerely,") \n\n11. Include 4 spaces and type your full name and title \n\n12. Sign the letter between the salutation and the typed name and title \n\nTips: \n\nKeep the letter brief and to the point \n\nDo not use shortened verb forms - write them out (i.e. "don't instead of do not") \n\nAlways keep a copy of correspondence for future reference

This is a toughie.\n\nIt seems to me that the only sociolinguistic situation in which a person can use this form of address is when a younger person is addressing an older person.  There are two example situations that spring to mind (1) your child's friend is addressing you or (2) a young child is addressing his/her teacher.\n\nIt is pretty common practice for children to address their teachers in this way, especially if the teacher has a long last name or the last name is hard to pronounce.  For example, I called my 5th-grade teacher "Mr. P".\n\nIf a child were using this form of address for his/her friend's mom, I would consider it less formal than using the whole name, but still respectful.

You say Mr. or Ms. unless they tell you otherwise, and 95% of them will.  If they don't come right out and say "Call me Paul" or whatever, your clue will be in how they address you unless you are much older than they are.  \n\nIf you still aren't sure, call up their assistant or secretary and ask what the attorney prefers to be called.  \n\nI am a paralegal in a big city, and it works like this:  I address clients as Mr. or Ms. up until after the first meeting with them.  If they are my age or younger, I will refer to them by their first name only after we have met.  If they are older than I am, I will continue to address the client as Mr., Mrs. or Ms. until when and if the client says "Oh, call me Grace, Chuck, Jim, etc.".\n\nWhen I deal with attorneys, they are always addressed as Mr. or Ms. (no matter what their age is).  If the attorney says "Please call me Steve", then in telephone calls or in a non-procedural setting I will.  \n\nAll attorneys are to be referred to by Mr. or Ms. in procedural settings like a deposition or in court, even if you have been told to call them "Skippy".  The setting changes the rules.  \n\nTo the people who said they are your "employee":  \n\nThey aren't.  \n\nThey are a professional who has been retained by you to provide you with a service that requires education, skill, knowledge and licensing that you yourself do not posess.  They are being paid by you to represent your interests, but they ultimately do not answer to you.  They answer to the disciplinary committee.  You are not their "boss".

Depends on the context. If you intend to address somebody, you should say:\n\n'Dorogoy'  (man)   \n'Dorogaya' (woman) \n\nNormally the name of the person in question will follow.\nFor example:\n\n'Dorogoy Ivan'     \n'Dorogaya Yelena'\n\nIf you do not know the name or you are talking to someone you are closely acquainted with it is possible to add "me"\n \n'Dorogoy moy'     \n'Dorogaya moya'

Try the embassy for an answer

Ok I think they are similar but I will let you study as its late and my mind is going!\nIn modern usage, a consul is a representative of a sovereign state, posted to a foreign territory, in charge of matters related to individual people and businesses, in other words issues outside inter-governmental diplomacy. The office of a consul is known as a consulate.\n\nA permanent diplomatic mission is usually known as an embassy

The Sudanese have a very formal way of greeting.  They will expect the foreigner to respond in similar fashion.  The host generally inquires about the visitor, his family, his health and his general well being.  After this the Sudanese host will begin to discuss business, if the meeting is to be business one.  It is not considered impolite for a newly arrived friend or business associate to interrupt an on-going conversation, complete his business and depart.  Conversation then picks up where it left off.\n\nhttp://www.sudansite.com/society.htm\n\nhttp://khartoum.usembassy.gov/sudanese_cultural_customs.html
