In a contest organized by SLIK in The Enigma, members of the National Puzzlers' League (NPL) were challenged to submit a clue for one of the Seven Deadly Sins - Anger, Greed, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, and Sloth. The winner was (E)MET with this entry:

VICE PRESIDENT SENT AWAY

Can you decipher this clue to the name of one of the Seven Deadly Sins?

HINT:
The sin named is PRIDE.

Answer:

PResIDEnt 

The letters ESNT (SENT)  in PRESIDENT are removed (SENT - away) leaving PRIDE - which is a VICE.
