Spartan Ops Shirt Code Deleted--Please HELP

I received a message today with a code for this t-shirt and was stoked! Unfortunately, I pressed the “A” button, which I thought was for “archive”, but apparently meant “annihilate” and accidentaly deleted the message. Now I’ve got no t-shirt and no code to redeem for it. What do I do? I would appreciate it if someone at 343i viewed this message and helped me with this issue.

back when Armor codes were floating around, people kept saying that they “accedentally” deleted their message
i can’t remember what the solution was exactly, but i think the only way to retrieve deleted messages is to contact Microsoft directly

someone correct me if i’m wrong

I tried that, and they directed me here, so that didn’t work for me. The person I talked to said that forum moderators would view this and fix my issue. If anyone has another suggestion, I would be happy to hear it.

I forgot to ask: has this predicament happened to anyone else? If anyone did and had it solved, I would be happy to hear their solutions.

Thanks in advance.
