Principal Protected Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of the S&P BRIC 40 Index and Three Currencies Relative to the U.S. Dollar due April 25, 2013

General

Key Terms

Basket:

The notes are linked to a weighted basket consisting of the S&P BRIC 40 Index (“SBR”) (the “Basket Index”) and the Indian Rupee, the Brazilian Real and the Russian Ruble relative to the U.S. Dollar (each a “Basket Currency” and together, the “Basket Currencies”) (the Basket Index and each Basket Currency, a “Basket Component,” and together, the “Basket Components”).

Component Weightings:

The following table sets forth the Basket Components, the weighting of each Basket Component and, for the Basket Index, the Index Starting Level and the applicable Bloomberg symbol and, for each Basket Currency, the Starting Spot Rate and the applicable Reuters Page:

  Basket Component Index Starting Level/

Russian Ruble (RUB)

RUBMCMEEMTA=

18.33%

  The Index Starting Level for the Basket Index will be the closing level of the Basket Index on the pricing date. The Starting Spot Rate for each Basket Currency will be equal to one divided by the amount of such Basket Currency per U.S. Dollar and will be determined by the calculation agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the pricing date taking into account the quotient of one divided by either applicable intra-day trades or the rates displayed on the applicable Reuters page. For information about the risks related to this discretion, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Potential Conflicts” on page TS-2 of this term sheet.

Reference Currency:

The U.S. Dollar

Payment at Maturity:

At maturity, you will receive a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,000 plus the Additional Amount, which may be zero.

Additional Amount:

The Additional Amount per $1,000 principal amount note paid at maturity will equal $1,000 x the Basket Return x the Participation Rate; provided that the Additional Amount will not be less than zero.

Participation Rate:

The Participation Rate will be determined on the pricing date and will not be less than 100% or greater than 105%.

Basket Return:

Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level

                  Starting Basket Level

Starting Basket Level:

Set equal to 100 on the pricing date, which is expected to be on or about April 18, 2008.

Ending Basket Level:

The Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date. 

Basket Closing Level:

The Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date will be calculated as follows:

100 x [1 + (S&P BRIC Return * S&P BRIC Weighting) + (INR Return * INR Weighting) +
(BRL Return * BRL Weighting) + (RUB Return * RUB Weighting)]

The S&P BRIC Return reflects the performance of the Basket Index, expressed as a percentage, from the closing level of the Basket Index on the on the pricing date to the closing level of the Basket Index on the Observation Date. 

Each of the INR Return, BRL Return and RUB Return reflects the performance of the relevant Basket Currency, expressed as a percentage, from the Spot Rate of such Basket Currency in the interbank market on the pricing date to the Spot Rate of such Basket Currency on the Observation Date. The Spot Rate of each Basket Currency on a given date that falls after the pricing date is equal to one divided by the applicable amount reported by Reuters Group PLC on page RBIB (for the INR Return), BRFR (for the BRL Return) and page RUBMCMEEMTA= (for the RUB Return) at approximately 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, and is expressed as one divided by the amount of Basket Currency per one unit of the Reference Currency.

For additional information, see “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” in the accompanying product supplement no. 85-II.

If the notes priced today and assuming the Participation Rate is 100%, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., which we refer to as JPMSI, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., would receive a commission of approximately $40.00 per $1,000 principal amount note and would use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers of approximately $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. The actual commission received by JPMSI may be more or less than $40.00 and will depend on market conditions on the pricing date. In no event will the commission received by JPMSI, which includes concessions to be allowed to other dealers, exceed $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.  See “Underwriting” beginning on page PS-79 of the accompanying product supplement no. 85-II.

The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 120. Because the Ending Basket Level of 120 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the aggregate Additional Amount is equal to $4,000 and the final payment at maturity is equal to $24,000 for the $20,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, calculated as follows:

20 x [$1,000 + ($1,000 x [(120-100)/100] x 100%)] = $24,000

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 60. Because the Ending Basket Level of 60 is lower than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the final payment at maturity for the $20,000 aggregate principal amount of notes is the aggregate principal amount of $20,000.

Example 3: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 110. Because the Ending Basket Level of 110 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the aggregate Additional Amount is equal to $2,000 and the final payment at maturity is equal to $22,000 for the $20,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, calculated as follows:

20 x [$1,000 + ($1,000 x [(110-100)/100] x 100%)] = $22,000

Historical Information

The following graphs show the historical weekly performance of each Basket Currency expressed in terms of the conventional market quotation, as shown on Bloomberg Financial Markets, for each currency (in each case the amount of the applicable Basket Currency that can be exchanged for one U.S. Dollar, which we refer to in this term sheet as the exchange rate) from January 3, 2003 through March 28, 2008 and the historical weekly performance of the S&P BRIC 40 Index from February 6, 2004 through March 28, 2008. The S&P BRIC 40 Index was officially launched by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), on June 20, 2006, and S&P makes available hypothetical backtested historical data for the weekly performance of the S&P BRIC 40 Index back to February 6, 2004. The closing level of the S&P BRIC 40 Index on March 28, 2008 was 2779.51. The exchange rates of the Indian Rupee, the Brazilian Real and the Russian Ruble, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 28, 2008, were 39.89, 1.7402,  and 23.582435, respectively.

The exchange rates displayed in the graphs on the following page are for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the calculation of the Basket Return. Assuming the closing level of the Basket Index remains constant, the value of the Basket, and thus the Basket Return, increases when the individual Basket Currencies appreciate in value against the U.S. Dollar. Therefore, the Basket Return is calculated using Spot Rates for each currency expressed as one divided by the amount of Basket Currency per one U.S. Dollar, which is the inverse of the conventional market quotation for each Basket Currency set forth in the first four graphs on the following page.

The last graph on the following page shows the weekly performance of the Basket from February 6, 2004 through March 28, 2008, assuming that the Basket Closing Level on February 6, 2004 was 100, that each Basket Component had the Component Weighting set forth on the cover of this term sheet on that date and that the closing spot rates of each Basket Currency on the relevant dates were the Spot Rates on such dates. The closing spot rates and the historical weekly Basket performance data in such graph were determined by dividing one by the rates reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets and may not be indicative of the Basket performance using the Spot Rates of the Basket Currencies at approximately 6:00 p.m., New York City time (or, solely with respect to the Spot Rates on the pricing date, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date), that would be derived from the applicable Reuters page.

The performance of the S&P BRIC 40 Index, as well as the Basket, is based on hypothetical historical analysis and does not necessarily reflect the future performance of the S&P BRIC 40 Index or the Basket. The method of calculation used for this hypothetical historical analysis is the same as the method used to determine the closing level of the S&P BRIC 40 Index on the pricing date.

The Spot Rates of the Indian Rupee, the Brazilian Real and the Russian Ruble, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 28, 2008, were 0.0250, 0.5746 and 0.0425, respectively, calculated in the manner set forth under “Key Terms — Basket Closing Level” on the cover of this term sheet (except that the Spot Rates were determined at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, instead of 6:00 p.m., New York City time).

We obtained the data needed to construct the graph which displays the weekly performance of the Basket from Bloomberg Financial Markets, and we obtained the exchange rates and the denominators used to calculate the Spot Rates from Reuters Group PLC. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets or Reuters Group PLC. The historical performance of each Basket Component and the Basket should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Spot Rate of any of the Basket Currencies or the closing level of the Basket Index on the Observation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Basket will result in the return of more than the principal amount of your notes.

Supplemental Underwriting Information

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment for the notes on or about the settlement date set forth on the front cover of this pricing supplement, which will be the fifth business day following the expected Pricing Date of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the Pricing Date or the succeeding business day will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisers.
