Note translation help please!

[Nimm]

A friend of mine has asked me for help in translating a note she received today - it may be related to a Christmas gift or message of some kind, perhaps.  She's at a loss on how to translate it.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you!

100 yuan xianqi le qin ditan

Maybe something like "$100 to raise up the carpet"  or "$100 to lift up the carpet"

There's also the word 'relative/relation' which might mean the carpet belongs to a relative. Not sure

Was this note written by a child or student of Chinese? The characters are oddly proportioned.

On Chinese (Mainland China) internet, people use 親 to address other people. It has the meaning of "fellow user", "friend", etc. Something like a term of endearment but not exactly. (PS - according to the internet, it comes from the Korean term for friend 親故 친구 chingu.)

Anyways the note was poorly written and the meaning is unclear, especially the word 親 in there.

Maybe they meant to write 新 but forgot the right side.

Edelweis' idea seems plausible. '100 yuan to lift up the new carpet'

I agree that the characters are a bit wonky, but they do seem to be written by someone who knows what they're writing (they're not just copied stroke by stroke). I do find that 了 a bit odd though, almost looks like it says 'The new carpet was lifted for 100 yuan'.

Makes sense if you think of it as an informal bill presented after the service was performed.

It does look like that it was written by a child or someone learning to write Chinese, as #3 says.
