bash - Syntax error : end of file unexpected (expecting "fi")

I am writing a makefile in bash and I have a target in which I try to find if a file exists and even though I think the syntax is correct, i still gives me an error.

Here is the script that I am trying to run

read: 
        if [ -e testFile] ; then  
        cat testFile 
        fi

I am using tabs so that is not a problem.

The error is (when I type in: "make read")

if [ -e testFile] ; then 
        cat testFile 
        fi
/bin/sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "fi")
make: *** [read] Error 2

Try adding a semicolon after cat testFile. For example:

read: 
    if [ -e testFile ] ; then  cat testFile ; fi

alternatively:

read:
    test -r testFile && cat testFile
