That is a phishing scam. Ignore and delete it. This is how to identify legitimate Yahoo websites, requests, and communications: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2091.html

Don't ever respond to unknown emails. Hackers can get into your machine to vandalise it and/or steal money. Delete the email. If it appears again mark it as SPAM.
