Hello, everybody!
I hope you'll excuse my English. I'm a bit out of practice. However I hope to improve my skills with you.
I'm glad to become a new member and would like to thank the staff of the site for their work. It's really useful site for people learning English.
My name's Anatoly. I'm 38 y.o. I work as a tax lawyer for an oil company.
I'm fond of traveling so I'm interested in learning English and I simply like this language.
I often have a lot of questions on grammar and using English phrases and words and would be thankful for you helping.
Best wishes. Anatoly.
P.S. Will you show me my mistakes please?

There is not much to criticize in your posting. However---

Rather than "I'm glad to become a new member" say, "I'm glad to be a new member."

Rather than "would be thankful for you helping" say, "would be thankful for your help."

You're actually quite advanced for an ESL speaker.

Welcome! :D

I would delete the first sentence- it sounds like false modesty- your English is excellent. ;-)
