Hello masters.

"Sorry i've come to you without prior information."?
I mean I had not told the guy that i was going to him in advance and so he wasn't aware of the meeting with me so I needed to apologize.

Q#2_How about my following sentence? How it will be better?
"Don't worry John, I have made a copy of that for the case of emergency/urgency/necessity."

Thanks but, Cambridge advanced dictionary says:
master: "A person who is very skilled in a particular job or activity."
It doesn't refer to any ***! What do you suggest to use for both males and females anyway?
Maybe... Hello teachers!?

We do not use 'master', in any sense of the word, as a form of address.

There is no need to use any form of address in a forum such as this. However, some people like t start with an informal greeting such as 'Hi' or 'Hello, all'.
