You could use the contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension plugin.

Install the plugin, add

    /* Generate Quote Ticket */
function genTicketString() {
    return substr(md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true)), 0, 8);
}
add_shortcode('quoteticket', 'genTicketString');

to your functions.php and add

Your Reference number: [dynamictext ticket "quoteticket"]

to your form in contact form 7. (or make this field invisible through css)

Lastly, add [ticket] to your e-mail body.
