I can't find an open sales office in time for the 12 hour cancellation window.

They tell me they've written a file note on my booking that I've tried to cancel.

Any suggestions? I guess at this stage my only option is to email the sales office that made the booking for me but unfortunately they don't open until with the 12 hour window.
Have the call center cancel the reservation and make your ticket into an open ticket. Then you can get the sales office to process the refund at a later time.
