Of course, it is a scam! Who would write a complete stranger and ask them to give money away? Why are you opening E-mail from people you do not know?
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.
Do not respond to it.
Report it to yahoo, so they are aware.
Forward to spam@yahoo.com or spoof@yahoo.com (If it involves a lot of money)
And for your E-mail safety, remember:
Never open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure of who sent it, treat ALL others as spam.
Never give your personal information out to anyone, be it E-mail, snail mail, phone calls or at your front door.

spam, never reply to that junk, if you do, they know they have hit on an active account and you will get more SPAM, just delete it.
