This is almost certainly a scam. Don´t do anything they ask you to do!
Just send it to Yahoo! Spoof as an attachment and see what their reaction is.
The address is:

A few months ago, I received an e-mail telling me that same thing, but it was in my yahoo e-mail that I got it, so obviously my account was not suspended. It stated that they needed to verify certain information, and to answer questions in an attached zip file. Of course, it was not from Yahoo at all, and the zip file contained a virus. Yahoo will never ask for personal account information through an e-mail, so make sure you don't follow any links in the e-mail or give any information through it!

Sometime spammer immitate yahoo's URL's like Yahoo-inc or Yahoo.co.inc etc. So just ignore that email & dont click on any link!! Yahoo never sends so complex emails with words like 'TOS' mentioned to normal internet users.

Make sure you don't click any links in the email. Sounds like a scam to me. If you really need to change something you can do it by searching for it on the Yahoo website.

I haven't but make sure the e-mail doesn't have a pre-supplied link for you to click on to update your information. It may just be someone tricking you into giving them your account info.

Hello Darling.
I think you should read yahoo TOS carefully, and act as you have accepted in TOS.
God bless you.

you can be certain that it's a big joke. yahoo! doesn't send this kind of emails.upgrading your email costs currency, you can be sure of that and yahoo doesn't do such things only for business men and other people who really need those kind of services.

I would disregard it. I think it might be some kind of scam. You could telephone Yahoo, if you can find a number.
