You wanna(want to) let me help you?
Do you wanna(want to) let me help you?

Appreciate your help.

These are OK:

You want to let me help you?-- Very casual.
Do you want to let me help you?

Do not use 'wanna' (or gonna, coulda, woulda. etc) in ANY written English unless you are actually transcribing speech (i.e. writing dialogue). It is not a word; it is simply an orthographic attempt at representing pronunciation.
