"Get to know" refers to the process and "will know" refers to the result of that process. Verbs that refer to a state or condition rather than an action can't use the continuous form. In order to express this idea we use "to get" or verbs like "to begin" or "to start".

>Respected Sir,

This is very old-fashioned. Also, many of the posters are female, and you disparage them with this form of address. You could've at least said: Sir/Madam to cover that part.

Skip it. Too formal for this environment. You could say Hi/Hello, if you insist.

Not too formal: to say thanks if you appreciate the advice
