How to do it was discussed here

This is how your class looks like.

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
public class cXML
{
    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLHeader Header { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLRequest Request { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    [XmlAttribute(Form = XmlSchemaForm.Qualified, Namespace = "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace")]
    public string lang { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    [XmlAttribute]
    public DateTime timestamp { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLHeader
{
    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLHeaderFrom From { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLHeaderTO To { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLHeaderSender Sender { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLHeaderFrom
{
    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLHeaderFromCredential Credential { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLHeaderFromCredential
{
    /// <remarks />
    public string Identity { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string domain { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLHeaderTO
{
    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLHeaderTOCredential Credential { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLHeaderTOCredential
{
    /// <remarks />
    public string Identity { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string domain { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLHeaderSender
{
    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLHeaderSenderCredential Credential { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    public string UserAgent { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLHeaderSenderCredential
{
    /// <remarks />
    public string Identity { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    public string SharedSecret { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string domain { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLRequest
{
    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLRequestPunchOutSetupRequest PunchOutSetupRequest { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLRequestPunchOutSetupRequest
{
    /// <remarks />
    public string BuyerCookie { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    public cXMLRequestPunchOutSetupRequestBrowserFormPost BrowserFormPost { get; set; }

    /// <remarks />
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string operation { get; set; }
}

/// <remarks />
[XmlType(AnonymousType = true)]
public class cXMLRequestPunchOutSetupRequestBrowserFormPost
{
    /// <remarks />
    public string URL { get; set; }
}
