The common wisdom is that under OS X (unlike OS 8/9), deleted files are 
re-written over immediately.  So there is just about no possibility of 
you recovering your file, even if you go to a hard drive recovery service.

However, I've heard that VirtualLab is able to do it!:

There is a free demo, so you may want to try it.
