Thanks for the quick response.
I am using JSON .Net.
A correction in what I meant, sorry about that. While I am able to deserialize it, I am not able to access the property post deserialization. I am using C# dynamic object to store the deserialized response and trying to access the property with *
Normally, I am able to access a property using object.PropertyName. Just after I sent the email, I accessed the property using object["*"] instead of object.* and that worked.

What JSON library are you using? Any decent library will handle it.

Is it possible to get with a name like say content instead of the *. I am not able to de-serialize the response.
