The idea is fine, but your rendition is poor: Sorry to interrupt you, but actually I tried / I'm trying to send this message to Mr Smith .

You can say:
"Sorry to interrupt to you, but I'm trying to send this message to Mr John..."
This would be suitable if the other person was busy doing something, but you needed their help to send the message.
If the person's first name is "John" then just say "John", not "Mr John". If the person's surname is "John" then "Mr John" is correct.

(I always presume that 'Mr John' is incorrect, because it is a name all too frequently used by students whose generic teacher's Christian name is 'John'. I acknowledge that I am possibly sometimes wrong, and that there are occasionally teachers named 'Mr Steve/Bob/Don John'.)
