The Chairman
of Harrods Knightsbridge. Mr.
M. Al Fayed. 87/135
BROMPTON ROAD. LONDON SW1X 7XL UNITED KINGDOM.
Reference: JH/MAF990605. Concerns: REWARD Saturday
5 June 1999, Dear Mr Al Fayed, Some
time ago I read in the press that you offer a one million pounds reward
to those who will give you the information that will lead to the
final solution of the questions regarding the
fatal accident in Paris in the night of 31
August 1997. I do this here on behalf of the Stichting
Cervantes Benelux to be converted into European
Cervantes Foundation. First of all I give you a chronological
summery of te developments as from April 1992. In that month
I deposited the name Instituto
Cervantes as a trade name for the category
courses, trainings and education at the Benelux Trade Registrar.
In October of the same year I also founded the Foundation
(Stichting) Cervantes Benelux and afterwards I developed
my businessplan.
In June 1996 I established a permanent
legal right to use the name Instituto
Cervantes in the Benelux, as you know.
On 31 July
1996 I offered the
Crown Princes of
Spain, Luxemburg, Belgium
and The Netherlands to participate
in the government of my foundation. The next day, the first of August 1996 I went to England
and lighted a candle ("in
the wind") in Canterbury Cathedral for
Princess Diana because
She found herself in an incredibly difficult position at that
time. The day of Her divorce - 28
August 1996 - She received 28
royal roses on my behalf. That was the start of the proposed
family-company Van
der Heyden/Spencer. As I noticed that She was interested in
my plans I decided
to keep Her informed about the developments and wrote Her a letter every week. Herewith
you find copy of the letter that I received from Het
Stadhouderlijk Hof in Leeuwarden, the cradle of our Royal
Family. It says that Princess Diana had tried to change
Her agenda to celebrate Christmas together with me in the Netherlands.
The fact that She used three times the word 'unfortunately' (helaas)
was to me the indication that She was anxious to get in touch
with me. Therefore I translated my Business
Plan into English and sent it to Her at St.
James's Palace in the same month. On Her command I celebrated Christmas
in Het Stadhouderlijk Hof with
an empty chair. Nevertheless this was reason enough to send Her
a marriage proposal. In the same
month - December 1996 - Her lawyer,
Mr
Anthony Julius, who also had arranged Her divorce settlement,
made up Diana's Last Will. At
the same time I founded the Limited Company Instituto
Cervantes England and Wales.
I proposed Diana
to make it a family-company
as from 28 September 1997. Therefore
I went to England
in April of that year. On 18 April I delegated my authorities
in the United
Kingdom to Her in a written and certified letter.
22 April - exactly five years after my divorce and the registration
of my trade mark - I attended the Changing
of the Guards before Buckingham
Palace, after having requested to see it from the inside and
brought my Christmas present for Diana
to Kensington Palace. Unfortunately
She was not at home at the time although I was brought there by
a friendly Egyptian taxi-driver from Earls
Court. The day after (23/4) I had a conversation at Eton
College with Sergeant
David Sharp, Her bodyguard. He disposed of copies of all the
letters that I had sent to Her and advised me "to stay away from the royal palaces for the
time being". I agreed and advised
him to take all security measures untill I would return at the end of August 1997. Mr. Sharp
promised me that I would receive an official letter in September
from Kensington Palace. I regarded
that as a positive signal and took my preparations for my
planned marriage or official engagement with Diana on the
coming 28 of September in the Anglican
Chapel of Palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn. That is the reason that
I sent you the fax-message on Friday
29 August 18.30 continental time because I realised that Diana
had some sympathies for your son. I followed every development
considering the situation with great care in the press. I noticed
that you have declared that Diana
was willing to marry your son Dodi. Regarding that situation I
must disappoint you in this letter. The only official reaction
of the Princess of Wales in this
case was published in the Daily Mail
of 14 August with the heading No
wedding says Diana.
That was logical. First of all She had
to react on my
letters before taking a decision and to consult her children.
Therefore on August 27 I sent a letter with an Honourable Proposal to
Her Royal Majesty the Queen at
Balmoral Castle for an official
Royal permission for a marriage with the Princess
of Wales. Also to pay a contribution to the education of Prince William as heir to the throne
as the legal husband of His mother,
because education is my core
business. With Christmas
1997 I went to England
again, as you know. This time with seven samples of my Lettters
to Diana (300 pages) and I delivered them at Buckingham
Palace, Kensington Palace (Office of Diana), 10
Downing Street,
Christie's
King Street (Lord Balfour), Kings College Cambridge, Althorp House and St.
Mary's Church in Warwick. Last year a false last will from
1993
has been published by the lawyers of Boodle
Hatfield in London. I advised The
Prince of Wales not to pay the bill and to respect the express
wishes of the deceased. Herewith you find His reaction from 13th October, 1998.
And now the information were you are looking
for. To recover from the shock of the sudden death of My
Lady I moved for the time being to an appartment in the south
of Spain, where Diana's Quixotic Quest had
started. Here in the street I found a white Citroën AX
with license plate number MA
9850 AZ. I am almost sure that this
is the car that got in touch with Diana's
Mercedes in the fatal night. The actual owner lives probably in
Calle Roquedal number
13.
I do not believe that there has
been a conspiracy against both, but that the driver has tried
to remind Diana of a
Special Event taking place on the First of July 1998, Her 37th birthday in The Netherlands. I kindly request you to transmit the promised one
million pounds for this information to Postbank number 4729266
of the Stichting Cervantes Benelux
in Utrecht. Next 12 June I return to THE NETHERLANDS. So you
can send your reaction to P.O. Box 689, NL 3500 AR UTRECHT, The
Netherlands. Thanking you in advance for your collaboration. Yours
sincerely, John L. Van der
Heyden. Enclosures: Letter 'Stadhouderlijk
Hof' dated 13th November, 1996
