Bash Question:line 33: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I am having a problem with my code outputting error unexpected end of file. I know its a problem with the last for loop but I can't figured it out. Anyone ideas?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
usage="Usage: $0 -w 'AT syntax' -m 'exact syntax needed' -u 'user1,user2,user3,etc'"
while getopts ":m:w:u:" opt;
do
case $opt in
        m) m=$OPTARG
        ;;
        w) w=$OPTARG
        ;;
        u) u=$OPTARG 
        ;;
esac
done
old_IFS=$IFS
IFS=','
users=($u)
IFS=$old_IFS
if [ "${#m}" -lt 1 ]; then
echo "-m is not set"
echo $usage
exit 1
fi
for a in ${#users[@]}
do
echo ${users[a]}
if [ "${#w}" -gt 0 ]; then 
at $w << /tmp/275/aa6vd/alert.p5/send $a $m
else 
./send $a $m
fi
done
exit 1

Code:

at $w << /tmp/275/aa6vd/alert.p5/send $a $m

What did you mean by this line of code? What you wrote starts a here document and you haven't closed it, thus unexpected end of file.

Also, your code will be much easier to read if you indent it properly and add a few blank lines between sections.
