PLUS based on the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund due June 20, 2009

Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM

PLUS offer leveraged exposure to a wide variety of assets and asset classes, including equities, commodities and currencies. These investments allow investors to capture enhanced returns relative to the asset’s actual positive performance. The leverage typically applies only for a certain range of price performance. In exchange for enhanced performance in that range, investors generally forgo performance above a specified maximum return. At maturity, an investor will receive an amount in cash that may be more or less than the principal amount based upon the closing value of the asset at maturity.

Key Investment Rationale

This 13 month investment offers 300% leveraged upside, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $12.60 to $12.80 (126% to 128% of the stated principal amount).

Investors can use the PLUS to enhance returns up to the maximum payment at maturity, while maintaining similar risk as a direct investment in the underlying shares.

Leverage Performance	The PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns relative to a direct investment in the underlying shares within a certain range of price performance.
Best Case Scenario	The underlying shares increase in price and, at maturity, the PLUS redeem for the maximum payment at maturity of $12.60 to $12.80 (126% to 128% of the stated principal amount).
Worst Case Scenario	The underlying shares decline in price and, at maturity, the PLUS redeem for less than the stated principal amount by an amount proportional to the decline.

Summary of Selected Key Risks (see page 9)

§	No guaranteed return of principal.

§	No interest payments.

§	Appreciation potential is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.

§	The MSCI Emerging Markets Index® is subject to currency exchange risk.

§	There are risks associated with investments in securities linked solely to the value of emerging markets equity securities.

§	Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares.

§	Adjustments to the underlying shares or to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index® could adversely affect the PLUS.

§	The underlying shares may not exactly track the MSCI Emerging Markets Index®.

§	The antidilution adjustments do not cover every event that could affect the underlying shares.

Secondary trading may be limited, and the inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices and you could receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per PLUS if you try to sell your PLUS prior to maturity.

§	The market price of the PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including the value, volatility and dividend yield of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index®.

§	The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS are uncertain.

§	Credit risk to Morgan Stanley.

General Information
Listing:	The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange.
CUSIP:	617480322
Minimum ticketing size:	100 PLUS
Tax considerations:	Although the issuer believes that, under current law, the PLUS should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS.
	Assuming this characterization of the PLUS is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result based on current law:
	§ A U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the PLUS prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange.
	§ Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the PLUS at maturity, a U.S. Holder should generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PLUS. Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule under Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any capital gain or loss recognized upon sale, exchange or settlement of a PLUS should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the PLUS for more than one year at such time.
	As discussed in the accompanying prospectus supplement under “United States Federal Taxation ─ Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders ─ Tax Treatment of the PLUS ─ Possible Application of Section 1260 of the Code,” although the matter is not clear, there is a substantial risk that an investment in the PLUS will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction.” If this treatment applies, it is not clear to what extent any long-term capital gain of the U.S. Holder in respect of the PLUS will be recharacterized as ordinary income (which ordinary income would also be subject to an interest charge). U.S. investors should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule.
	On December 7, 2007, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the PLUS. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS, including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership regime and the issues presented by this notice.
	Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the PLUS should read the discussion under “Risk Factors ― Structure Specific Risk Factors” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS and consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the PLUS as well as the notice described above and its potential implications for an investment in the PLUS.
Trustee:	The Bank of New York (as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.)
Calculation agent:	Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“MS & Co.”)
Use of proceeds and hedging:	The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the PLUS will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the PLUS through one or more of our subsidiaries.

	On or prior to the pricing date, we, through our subsidiaries or others, will hedge our anticipated exposure in connection with the PLUS by taking positions in the underlying shares and in futures and options contracts on the underlying shares and the component stocks of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Such purchase activity could increase the price of the underlying shares, and therefore the price at which the underlying shares must close on the valuation date before investors would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the principal amount of the PLUS. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the prospectus supplement for PLUS.

How PLUS Work

Payoff Diagram

The payoff diagram below illustrates the payment at maturity on the PLUS based on the following hypothetical terms:

	Stated principal amount:	$10
	Leverage factor:	300%
	Hypothetical maximum payment at maturity:	$12.70 (127% of the stated principal amount)

PLUS Payoff Diagram

How it works

If the final share price is greater than the initial share price, then investors receive the $10 stated principal amount plus 300% of the appreciation of the underlying shares over the term of the PLUS, subject to the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity. In the payoff diagram, an investor will realize the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity at a final share price of approximately 109% of the initial share price.

If the underlying shares appreciate 5%, the investor would receive a 15% return, or $11.50.

If the underlying shares appreciate 25%, the investor would receive the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity of 127% of the stated principal amount, or $12.70.

§	If the final share price is less than or equal to the initial share price, the investor would receive an amount less than or equal to the $10 stated principal amount, based on a 1% loss of principal for each 1% decline in the price of the underlying shares.

If the underlying shares depreciate 10%, the investor would lose 10% of its principal and receive only $9 at maturity, or 90% of the stated principal amount.

Payment at Maturity

At maturity, investors will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that they hold an amount in cash based upon the price of the underlying shares, determined as follows:

If the final share price is greater than the initial share price:

$10 + Leveraged Upside Payment:

subject to the maximum payment at maturity for each PLUS,

If the final share price is less than or equal to the initial share price:

$10 x Share Performance Factor

Because the share performance factor will be less than or equal to 1.0, this payment will be less than or equal to $10.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the PLUS. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-18 of the prospectus supplement for PLUS. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the PLUS.

Structure Specific Risk Factors

PLUS do not pay interest nor guarantee return of principal. The terms of the PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the PLUS do not pay interest nor guarantee payment of the principal amount at maturity. If the final share price is less than the initial share price, the payout at maturity will be an amount in cash that is less than the $10 stated principal amount of each PLUS by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the price of the underlying shares.

Appreciation potential is limited. The appreciation potential of PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $12.60 to $12.80 (126% to 128% of the stated principal amount). Although the leverage factor provides 300% exposure to any increase in the price of the underlying shares at maturity, because the payment at maturity will be limited to 126% to 128% of the stated principal amount for the PLUS, the percentage exposure provided by the leverage factor is progressively reduced as the final share price exceeds approximately 108.667% to approximately 109.333% of the initial share price.

Market price influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence the value of the PLUS in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the PLUS in the secondary market, including: the value, volatility and dividend yield of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, interest and yield rates, time remaining to maturity, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events and creditworthiness of the issuer.

The price of the underlying shares is subject to currency exchange risk. Because the price of the underlying shares is related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, holders of the PLUS will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the emerging markets currencies in which such component securities trade. Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors specific to that country including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to each region. Currencies of emerging economies are often subject to more frequent and larger central bank interventions than the currencies of developed countries and are also more likely to be affected by drastic changes in monetary or exchange rate policies of the relevant country. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies of the component countries strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each currency. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component securities represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the price of the underlying shares will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the PLUS may be reduced.

Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:

existing and expected rates of inflation;

existing and expected interest rate levels;

the balance of payments; and

the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the component countries and the United States of America.

All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various component countries and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM

There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of emerging markets equity securities. The stocks included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and that are generally tracked by the underlying shares have been issued by companies in various emerging markets countries. Investments in securities linked to the value of emerging markets equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities in emerging markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws.

The prices of securities in emerging markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.

Adjustments to the underlying shares or to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index could adversely affect the value of the PLUS. Barclays Global Fund Advisors, which we refer to as BGFA, is the investment adviser to the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. MSCI can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, BGFA may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the PLUS.

Not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares. Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares or the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Investors in the PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The underlying shares and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are different. The performance of the underlying shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index because the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. It is also possible that the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in this fund, differences in trading hours between the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or due to other circumstances. BGFA may invest up to 10% of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund’s assets in shares of other iShares® funds that seek to track the performance of equity securities of constituent countries of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying shares. MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the amount payable at maturity for certain events affecting the underlying shares. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for

May 2008

Page 10

PLUS based on the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund due June 20, 2009

Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM

every event that could affect the underlying shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the amount payable at maturity, the market price of the PLUS may be materially and adversely affected.

The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase PLUS in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to the PLUS, as well as the projected profit included in the cost of hedging the issuer’s obligations under the PLUS. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by MS & Co., as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS are uncertain. Please read the discussion under “Fact Sheet ― General Information ― Tax Considerations” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS (together the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the PLUS. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative characterization or treatment, the timing and character of income on the PLUS might differ significantly from the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. For example, as discussed in the Tax Disclosure Sections, there is a substantial risk that the “constructive ownership” rule could apply, in which case all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder might be recharacterized as ordinary income (which ordinary income would also be subject to an interest charge). Under another characterization, U.S. Holders could be required to accrue original issue discount on the PLUS every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the PLUS as ordinary income. The issuer does not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the PLUS, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this document and the accompanying prospectus supplement.

On December 7, 2007, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the PLUS. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS, including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership regime and the issues presented by this notice.

Other Risk Factors

Secondary trading may be limited. The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited, and the inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices and you could receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per PLUS if you try to sell your PLUS prior to maturity.

Potential adverse economic interest of the calculation agent. The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could adversely affect the price of the underlying shares and, as a result, could decrease the amount an investor may receive on the PLUS at maturity. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially affect the initial share price and, therefore, could increase the price at which the underlying shares must close before an investor receives a payment at maturity that exceeds the issue price of the PLUS. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the PLUS, including on the valuation date, could potentially affect the price of the underlying shares on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.
