Lauren Ledford found a four-page letter on her doorstep in Redondo Beach, California, after she didn't leave a tip for a Postmates driver who had delivered a pizza to her home the week before.

In the letter, the driver threatened to come back and rob Ledford if she does not tip in future.

"I'm only joking, but not really. Don't risk it though. Who knows what a disgruntled delivery driver who can't afford to eat that day is capable of," the letter read.

He then went on to make racist and derogatory comments about women and claimed that he was "high."

Postmates confirmed to Business Insider that it had suspended the driver and contacted Ledford personally to apologize. The company said that all of its contracted drivers go through background checks.

"The criminal background check includes national and county-level databases and records stretching back a minimum of 7 years for review of convictions in California, or as deemed appropriate in other jurisdictions. Among other things, Postmates denies access to applicants for violent crimes, felonies, sexual offenses, or drug-related convictions that appear on a background check," the spokesperson said.

Ledford contacted local police to get a restraining order, but Postmates has refused to release the driver's full identity.
