I have just asked/contacted the seller of my Bitcoins for help.
The wallet.dat file will be mailed to them in a secure way and they will try to regain control over the Bitcoins.
If you haven't sent the wallet.dat file yet...
DON'T!!! You should
NEVER send your wallet.dat file to anyone, ever... That is literally like handing over a physical wallet full of money to someone. Unless that person is completely, 100% trusted then this is a VERY bad idea.
I hope you have not sent it yet... if you have, and the person you sent it to is not a close personal friend of yours and/or 100% fully trusted by you, you may as well kiss your bitcoins goodbye!
