XML : Android - Incorrect XML formatting when creating XMLObject

tl;dr I will keep this short at the top and put most of my models and code needed at the bottom.

I have the following String:

  String engineer_request = "<GetStuff Revision=\"1.1.0\"> \n" +              "<RequestedProperties> \n" +              "<Item>Key</Item> \n" +              "<Item>ID</Item> \n" +              "<Item>Manager</Item> \n" +              "<Item>PhoneNumber</Item> \n" +              "<Item>EmailAddress</Item>\n" +              "<Item>MobileLoginID</Item>\n" +              "<Item>Name</Item> \n" +              "<Item>Active</Item> \n" +              "</RequestedProperties> \n" +              "</GetStuff>\n";    

I'm trying to create an object to send to my API via Retrofit. The problem is that I can't seem to get the structure right. My retrofit service call sends and the logger spits back:

  <myRequest>    <GetStuff Revision=\"1.1.0\">      <RequestedProperties>        <Item>Key</Item>      </RequestedProperties>    </GetStuff Revision=\"1.1.0\">  </myRequest>    

But I need it to spit back this:

  <GetStuff Revision=\"1.1.0\">    <RequestedProperties>      <Item>Key</Item>      <Item>ID</Item>      <Item>Manager</Item>      <Item>PhoneNumber</Item>      <Item>EmailAddress</Item>      <Item>MobileLoginID</Item>      <Item>Name</Item>      <Item>Active</Item>    </RequestedProperties>  </GetStuff>    

If you know how to accomplish this quick and easy then read no further and go ahead and let me know. If you need more information please see below and I will explain in detail.

So far this is my code:

  public MyRequest getXML() {    MyRequest myXMLRequest = new MyRequest();    RequestRoot requestRoot = new RequestRoot();    RequestedProperties requestedProperties = new RequestedProperties();    requestedProperties.setItem("Key");    requestRoot.setRequest(requestedProperties);    myXMLRequest.setRequestRoot(requestRoot);      return myXMLRequest;  }    

and here are my models

MyRequest

  public class MyRequest {    public MyRequest() {}      @Element(name = "GetStuff Revision=\"1.1.0\"")    RequestRoot requestRoot;      public void setRequestRoot(RequestRoot requestRoot) {      this.requestRoot = requestRoot;    }  }    

RequestRoot

  public class RequestRoot {      @Root(name = "GetStuff Revision=\"1.1.0\"")      public RequestRoot() {}        @Element(name = "RequestedProperties")      RequestedProperties requestedProperties;        public void setRequest(RequestedProperties requestedProperties) {          this.requestedProperties = requestedProperties;      }  }    

RequestedProperties

  public class RequestedProperties {      @Root(name = "RequestedProperties")      public RequestedProperties() {}        @Element(name = "Item")      String item;        public void setItem(String item) {          this.item = item;      }  }    

Then my service call

  @POST("/services/stuff")  Call<Response> getStuff(@Body MyRequest myRequest);    

Any help is much appreciated. I've been at this for a while and I cant seem to figure out something that should be fairly straight forward. I'm pretty sure I'm butchering this, but I could be wrong. Thanks
