Listing Option Menu Choices from Text File

Hello,

I am starting up a tool and one of the initial steps is to select a site/location which is being read from a text file.

Here is the text file contents:

Code:
site1
site2
site3

Here is the code:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.geometry("600x400")
root.title("Management E-mail")
# code here

# selecting sites title
title1 = Label (root, text = "What is the site Code?")
title1.pack(fill=X,padx=10)

# selecting sites sites

f = open("C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Python\sitelist.txt", "r")
list = f.read()

var=StringVar ()
var.set ('Click to Select Site')
sitelist = OptionMenu (root, var, *list)
sitelist.pack (fill=X,padx=10)

# input ticket number

title2 = Label (root, text = "What is the ticket number?")
title2.pack (fill=X,padx=10)

text1 = Entry ()
text1.pack(fill=X,padx=10)

listbox = Listbox ()
listbox.pack(side=LEFT,fill=BOTH, expand=1)						  
					  
root.mainloop ()

The problem is the output wherein OptionMenu is reading it per character:

Can you help me list it per site? Thank you in advanced!

Output should be:

site1
site2
site3
