As far as I've heard, only saludos is a well-recognized greeting. There are a few hits on the internet, though, where people have said, "Buen saludes a todos," so I guess it's used in some place(s). I've never heard it used.

Wait for native speakers to opine.

I guess those are misspellings, I have never heard of that way to greet.

Now, "saludes" is to be used in 2nd person "tú"

Maybe some people have heard "Espero que saludes a todos..." = I hope you greet everyone...

saludos = greetings

salud = health (cheers) depends on context.

I agree.
"Saludos" is the right word for "greetings".
"Saludes" is the subjunctive for the second person singular, never to be used as a noun.

As far as you can recalled it.

You can use Saludos.

Hello just I wanted to telling you salute and I hope that you are fine.
Hola queria justamente decirte saludos y espero que te encuentres bien.

That will be the way figured that I would use the word.
