Both are perfect, but.. if you use 'wants', it seems that the situation is still ongoing - she hasn't replied yet, maybe.. if you use 'wanted', I expect you to tell me the result: '... but she said she's busy today.' :)

"Wants" is present tense and "Wanted" is past tense. As "sent" is already in past tense I believe only the second sentence is gramatically correct.
