The email you have recieved is not genuine and is not from Yahoo!
This is a scam, they are trying to obtain your personal details and an 'advance fee' that you will never recover.
The Yahoo! Security Centre has an excellent article on these 'Phishing Scams'. You can read this here:
http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/hughes/4338;_ylt=AlSvqXGPeGQwp4ijCBNx5l1IN60h
It is also a good idea to read through the FBI's information on Internet Scams. The site is regularly update, so you may wish to bookmark it to check on in the future:

Please forward the email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com and then mark as 'spam'.

Sorry to tell you it’s a fraud...and seems that it has been going on for several months now, and under different names [Yahoo mail pack prize, Yahoo Mail Flash 2007 prize… and I am sure some other names as well], they tell you won some amount of money and you should follow some steps to claim and verify the prize] and that its secured by Verisign and then you have to donate orpay some out of it for a certain reason before they mail you the money... Just ignore it. Don’t give them any kind of personal info…and report it to mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com
By the way, if the mail relates to yahoo the company..their mail should end with (...yahoo-inc.com)..everybody else their mail end with (...yahoo.com)
