You need to add the hyphen l and the action line (add:, replace: or delete:)  
before each different attribute:

dn: cn=Joe Schmo,ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: objectclass
objectClass: posixAccount
-
replace:uid
uid: joe
-
replace: uidNumber
uidNumber: 1001
-
replace: userPassword
userPassword: {crypt}7FZxyiS7L2E9I
-
replace: loginShell
loginShell: /dev/null
-
replace: gidNumber
gidNumber: 2000
-
replace: homeDirectory
homeDirectory: /home/angel
-
replace: gecos
gecos: Angel Clark
