Talking about a future condition

Hi,



Do the following sentences convey the same meaning?



1. If I see him I will let him know that you wanted to talk to him.

2. If I see him I will let him know that you want to talk to him.

3. If I see him I would let him know that you want to talk to him.



Thanks,



MG.

#3 does not work.
#2 expresses the normal situation
#1 says that the desire to talk no longer exists.
