public Guid CreateAndRetrieveQuickCampaignForMarketingList(
    Entity letterActivityEntity, 
    Guid marketingListId, 
    PropagationOwnershipOptions ownershipOption, 
    bool isPropagate)

    //Execute the request
    CreateActivitiesListResponse response = 
        (CreateActivitiesListResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(request);

    //On executing the request a BulkOperation record would be created in CRM. 
    //If isPropagate is true, a corresponding Async job is also created which runs and creates the required activities 
    //The response has BulkOperationId. This is the Id of the bulkoperation that mimics QuickCampaign in CRM
    Guid BOId = response.BulkOperationId;
    System.Console.WriteLine(
        "Quick Campaign with following name has been created. " 
        + "Please verify in Web app manually: \n" 
        + request.FriendlyName 
        + "\nPress enter to continue....");
    System.Console.ReadLine();
