WCF Webservice With Acknowledgement

Question

Hi ,
I have  a requirement, where i need to expose a Webservice(WCF), when a request is made, it needs to send an acknowledgement back  "Yes i have received the request".
Post which the caller can continue the work, as he is not expecting any response.
At the service end, once the acknowledgement is sent , the actually processing of the request should be carried out.
No response is expected to be sent to caller.
I tried the one way Async pattern, but that does not give me the acknowledgement.
Any help is really appreciated.
