WARRENDALE, Pa. -- A supervisor at the Verizon facility in Warrendale said she received an inter-office envelope at her desk on Wednesday and found a doll inside the envelope.

"I popped it open, I looked inside, I said 'Holy cow,' and I just dumped it on the desk," the woman told WTAE Channel 4 Action News.

On the doll's head, the N-word was written, and the woman's name was written on the body of the doll.

A note that was also enclosed in the envelope used profanity and the N-word again, the woman said. She said it also said, "Hang -- you don't deserve your promotion."

She said she recently accepted a lateral move in the company, with no additional subordinates and no additional pay.

"I deserve to breathe, walk, sleep and eat just like everybody else," the woman said.

Northern Regional police said they are trying to find out who sent the threatening package.

Along with police, company officials said they are going to conduct their own investigation. A company representative said they take the incident seriously.

The company said it is offering a $1,000 reward to any employee who can help identify the source.

"They took the time out to write such vicious stuff on a baby doll and have it delivered to my desk," the woman said. "I have a family just like you do, and I have the God-given right to make a living just like you do."
