The read command requires a file reference or alias, not a path. So:
tell application "Finder"
set theScriptPath to (container of application file (path to me) as
Unicode text)
end tell
set theTextFile to (theScriptPath & replyTemplateName)
set targetFile to theTextFile
set fileText to (read file readHandle)
