When user mentions the bot, and quickly deletes the message before the bot has a chance to reply, the bot crashes. This is also some kind of race condition.
These kind of requests should be ignored/cancelled.

I do believe that the request should be cancelled instead of being fulfilled if the message gets deleted before the request completition, so this is not a solution.
I believe that when the message by a bot gets send, it should be clearly visible who summoned the bot.
Thus the bot has to send a referenced message instead of standard message.
