This is a known phishing scam attempting to get you to give them all your personal info. It's not from Yahoo, just delete it and ignore it. Good luck and be careful.

Yahoo will never ask you for your personal information.
This is someone trying to access your account. If the other answers say, Yahoo does, they are being fooled, as well.
No one will every ask you for your password in an email..
Its always a scam
If you already answered the email, because of the answers above.
Go to the top of this page & click where it says
HI _____
Then Click Yahoo Acct Info
Sign in again
Click change password. Dont delay doing this.

Scam!!!! That's a phishing email. Don't reply to the message and give out your personal information to total strangers or you'll risk losing your account to them. Remember that Y! doesn't send unsolicited emails to all its users, as the company already has that stored in its well-secured servers.
Go here to report the message to Customer Care: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/ab...
Choose Password Phishing as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.
Alternatively, you can also forward it to them-unedited and with full headers-at the following address: phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com
After that, get it deleted without delay.

That is NOT a real Yahoo message, Yahoo would not ask you for your personal information in an E-mail like that.
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both!
Do not respond to it.
Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.
For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya%E2%80%A6
Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.
Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.
