喂, 您好. 我叫CHRIS.我是美国人.我想跟Chenhaun说话.她在家吗?谢谢.


Explanation:
If I got your meaning you want to telephone...If so, I don't think you need the tones, but just the pinyin:
"Wei, nin hao. Wo jiao Chris. Wo shi Meiguoren. Wo xiang gen Chenhaun shuo hua? Ta zai jia ma? Xiexie."
If there was a misunderstanding, it's beacause here in Italy it's late in the night... If so, I am sorry (and sleepy).
