Hey Carlos;
Excellent attempt ! RB is 10K and RL is the relay coil. (They probably used ‘L’ to mean coil). Also, if the transistor has too much gain, and the relay doesn’t turn off completely. Just connect a 100K resistor between the base of the transistor (B) and 0V on your schematic. …. And a Merry Christmas to you too J Bill "No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."

Replacing the RB and RL by 10K resitor...? <http://i.stack.imgur.com/iRzKO.gif> Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas for everyone!!
