I received an email in a strange language?

Today when I checked my email there was one in an unusual language that I could not understand. The only word in English was Yahoo. There was a picture of a man and woman in bed and another of a monkey and another of someonne putting something in his nose. What does this mean? I wasn't going to open it, but after I read the email above it , it opened automatically. There was also a lot of this unusual writing.

Can anyone explain this? Could it be a mistake or a virus?

Update:

Livin'HisWay

If your name means you a living Jesus' way, you should read your answer as He would. Yes, I am new to the internet, but you could be kinder in the way you answer. Your answer felt belittleing and condesending. (Jesus did not answer sincere questions this way)

    Never open an email from anybody you do not know, this is how you get viruses spyware and all kinds of nasty stuff, and remember never give out personal information about yourself there are alot of predators out there, stay safe.

    nicely, tbh the "i admire you, im going to marry you" are rather predictable in this place, whether i won an digital mail from somebody with a clean account devoid of Qs or As and that they despatched me a recipe for coquielles st jacques for definitely NO reason. i under no circumstances even published a seafood question?? strange.

    Its called spam...don't be so paranoid about it. Everyone gets it. Just mark it as spam and be on your way...if you've really never gotten spam mail before, you ought to be thankful...or your just really young or new to cyberspace.

    mistake, virus, spam - you name it...

    just spam your unwanted messages first and then read emails from friends - that works for me (so far;)

    it's probably spam or something like that, unless you have downloaded anything or clicked anything on the email, your computer's safe.
