Yep, it's spam alright. Since it was forwarded from a friend, just delete it. But in the future, if something is sent from an email addy that you don't recognize and if you've already deleted it but it's still in your trash bin, move it to your inbox, then click the button next to it (where the check mark goes) and then click "spam". This gets reported to yahoo immediately as spam.

I'm no genius, but that's got hoax written all over it. Why in the world would Yahoo have to get the word out through individuals. They would put it on the top page. Trash it!

Check out Snopes and you will see this havs been around for YEARS!!! this is definitely spam, check out the link and confirm for yourself.
It has come under MSN, YAHOO, AIM and AOL, so it is definitely a hoax

YES! IT IS SPAM!
Do not forward it to anyone, delete it now! Runa virus scan make sure you don't get screwed. Yahoo, doesn't charge for their email accounts, that why it say "FREE".
