I do know someone named [sender] but the from address is not what I have
for that person, though the sender could have gotten a new e-mail
address very recently.  Also, the from address being a Google e-mail
address seems to contradict the last line saying the message was sent
from Yahoo Mail.  Is this message probably genuine or probably a spoof?

thanks,

It is surely spam. You should advise your friend that his email has been compromised, and he should be aware of any possible malware on his computer. There probably is some! (I have seen this situation myself!)
