Well, if this is a new lens, I'd find it a bit disappointing myself, for sure. If the lens is still under warranty, you might consider to have it cleaned by service (if the lens performs well I'd personally prefer that over a replacement).
However: that small particle won't have any visible influence on your images. In addition, if you use the lens well and often, it will soon be joined by quite a few dust particles (which you may also need special light to spot). It would takes loads of dust spots to have a visible influence on the image quality of the lens.
So, if your concerns are mainly about image quality: don't worry, be happy (not Shakespeare, sorry).
