The big clues are CAPS IN THE MESSAGE - bad spelling - more than one email - pass it on (Why would yahoo or any other firm want you to contact their customers?) - this is no joke (bit desperate to convince : ) ) Who is Dianna??? Check up and find the the Yahoo Directors are not called Dianna.
Instant-messenger-hoaxes fall into the catagory of "why me" the answer is they want your money. Never reply or telephone. Report it or delete it.

This is a hoax chain letter which has been doing the rounds for three or four years (actually since Messenger started I expect). It's rubbish - just delete it.

I have not seen the message, but I would not believe it if I were you. Yahoo would publish it on their news page if it were true
