Couple clarifications:

1. -a : file exists (any type of file) -d : file is a directory -f : file is a regular file (like Scott Said)
2. The test is not neccessary

vFILE_NAME='The file in question'

if [ -f ${vFILE_NAME} ]
then
  echo "File is there. You do not have to spend hours recreating it." else
  echo "Arggghhh ! Who the heck deleted my file !! Where the heck is my gun!"
fi

This is untested and from memory, but:

if [test -f <filename>]
then
echo "found"
else
echo "help, are you an idiot"
fi
