Automatically sending an attachment using Apple Mail.

My app generates a file, with a name that is different each time.  I'm want to be able to send this file as an attachment to an email, using Apple Mail.

--I can create the name of the file using:
set theAttachment1 to rtfName & ".rtfd"

--The file is always generated on the desktop, so I thought I would be able to create a full reference to it by :
set theAttachment to "~/Desktop/" & theAttachment1

--However, this doesn't work, whilst using "set theAttachment to choose file" works, I don't want to have any interaction with the script.

--All the other properties (theAccount, theSubject, theData, theAddress) work fine.

tell application "Mail"
            activate
            set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {account:theAccount, subject:theSubject, content:theData}
            tell newMessage
                make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:theAddress}
                set visible to false
                tell content
                    make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment} at after the last paragraph
                end tell
            end tell
           send newMessage
        end tell


Can anyone help?

Regards
