<message>
   A
   <projectLead>B</projectLead>
   C
   <projectMember>D</projectMember>
   E
   <projectMember>F</projectMember>.
   G<client>H<client>
   I
</message>

The declaration that should be used to define a mixed content model is as follows:

<xsd:element name="message">
  <xsd:complexType mixed="true">
   <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="projectMember" type="xsd:string"/>
    <xsd:element name="projectLead" type="xsd:string"/>
    <xsd:element name="client" type="xsd:string"/>
   </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
