error in if-else condition

Hi..

Im using the following script to find whether the present day is monday or not. If it is monday it has to do a specific set of things.

#!/bin/sh
Present_Date=`date`
LOAD_DAY=`date -d "$Present_Date" | cut -d " " -f 1`
echo $LOAD_DAY
if [ $LOAD_DAY = "Mon" ];then
echo "Monday"
#statements;
else
echo "Not Monday"
#statements;
fi

I have saved this script as 'test'. When i run this script using the command 'sh.test' i always get the following o/p with an error.

$ sh test
Mon
test: line 9: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
test: line 9: `fi'


Im running this script in Linux machine. Can anyone please advice why this error occurs?
