Delete it, it looks like a virus to me.  DO NOT open the attached file.

The English is far too bad for that to be from Yahoo anyway.

It is not real. Quoted from our local SysAdmin:

There is about one new "Bagel" virus variant coming out each day, now (starting
with variant "a" all the way through "k" today).  The latest tactics include sending
email pretending to be system managers/administrators.  As usual, you should
view each unsolicited email skeptically.  Some questions to ask yourself:
o Did you request any information from the sender?
o Is the sender making unusual requests of you (e.g., entering passwords for attachments)?
o Is the sender's tone similar to other email you have received from the sender
