The Sun tabloid said the contents of the letter were so graphic that QPR officials did not show it to the defender, who is at the centre of a race row involving John Terry.
The Premier League club contacted the police after the letter was delivered by hand to their Loftus Road ground last Friday, according to the paper.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "I can confirm that officers are investigating an allegation of malicious communication."
Ferdinand, 26, was the alleged victim of a racist comment made by Terry during QPR's Premier League home match with Chelsea last month.
The 30-year-old Blues and England captain denies the claims, which are being investigated by the police and the Football Association.
