Please follow below steps to read the contents of the file Template.txt present in the Templates folder of the root Directory of the website.

1. create FileStream object, first parameter is the path to the file.
Dim fs As New FileStream(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~\Templates\Template.txt"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None)
Dim sr As New StreamReader(fs)

Dim sbMailText As New StringBuilder(sr.ReadToEnd())//Reads all the contents of the file into StringBuilder object.
