Around the BASE_DIR setting started to use a Path [Python-doc] instead of a simple string, and you can not append a Path with a string. You can however use / operator [Python-doc] to join the path with a directory or filename, so you can use:

with open(settings.BASE_DIR / 'templates/newsletters/sign_up_email.txt') as f:
    # …
    pass

You might want to try using os.path.join. This functions builds paths that match your operating system.

import os
path = os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR,"/templates/newsletters/sign_up_email.txt")
with open(path) as f:
   # DO STUFF
