// To delete a message, we'll need either the SequenceNumber or MessageId.
// When the message was peek-locked, the SequenceNumber and MessageId of the locked message
// was returned in the HTTP response header named "BrokerProperties, which contained
// JSON such as the following:
// 
// 	{
// 	  "DeliveryCount": 1,
// 	  "EnqueuedSequenceNumber": 3000004,
// 	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
