For a formal letter, I would not ask about their health at all.
It's very hard to generalise.
Perhaps:
I trust you have been well. (I don't 'hope' it, since I really don't know them well enough to care)
It's a long time since we've spoken. I'm writing now to ... (This reminds the person that you dealt with them before)
You will recall that we collaborated on a successful venture together some time back. I now write to ... I see you have come up in the world since we last met ... (to an old friend).
But really, it depends on your personality, and also what you want from the other person. What works for me might not work for you.
