זה טוב? יש טעויות grammar?

Dear Mr. Cattanzara,
I hope youre doing well. Its been so long since weve last met, but I wanted you to know that I think of you pretty often, since I owe you so much for where I am today. The night you said to me dont do what I did, I realized how bad my habits were, so I finally decided to take my studies seriously and started studying and eventually completed my education. Im currently employed by the welfare department of our city, I work with the less fortunate people of society, many come from broken homes with hope for a decent life, but it gives me a lot of satisfaction!
I always remember how close I was to be in a similar situation and how you gave me hope and never stopped believing in me until I managed to pull myself up and change my life for the better.
Im doing my best every day to do the same for the people I work with, you inspired me to help others and I want you to know that. If you wouldnt have encouraged me to pull myself together and take control of my life I wouldnt be here now. I needed the respect you helped me earn in order to boost my confidence enough to start realizing my potential so thank you so much, Im so glad Ive met you.
I hope that you feel proud of where I am today, after all it is very much thanks to you!
Sincerely yours,
George.
