It is a scam.
1) Yahoo! does not have an award like this.
2) They are using generic email addresses.
This same email probably went out to a million people.

it's a scam!!! Forward the email to spam@uce.gov
===================================
To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone from a foreign country or Accept
checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you
risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER give out your personal information to
strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.

The bank is probably true, but the rest is a scam.
