So just sign into your Yahoo account not the one they sent you and just check everything out. If nothing else just change your password.
No harm no fowl, how ever when ever they send me something at least my first name appears. So to answer your question it could very well be a scam.[;)]
An easy litmus...
Who do you know who uses the word "whereby"?
No one.
So it didn't come from anyone you know.
Delete with impunity.
With such fantastic grammar, how could you possibly doubt (that it is from someone in Nigeria)
Scam.
