These are either "Phishing" scams in which a person impersonates Yahoo! in order to trick you into telling them your account name and password, or "Nigerian 419" scams in which a person impersonates someone who has money to send to you, in order to trick you into giving them details of your banking accounts.
Do not ever respond to either type of email, simply delete them. By responding you allow them to know that it is a valid email address and you will only receive more such fraudulent emails as a result.
If you have already supplied any passwords or account information to anyone as a result of these emails you have received, IMMEDIATELY log onto your respective accounts and change the passwords before the criminals can access yoiur accounts.
NEVER click on any of the links in such emails -- they lead to falsified website that LOOK like the real websites for Yahoo! or your bank, etc. but they are in fact websites which collect your prvate information and transmit it to the criminals.

Nope these are false. They'll try to get you send some money and then more money. Just erase them.
