Not patte but pâte? Instead of being a variant, perhaps the speaker's French simply isn't very good?

For example, maybe patte is meant to be pâte as in a poor back-translation of dough = money. Also, a French speaker wouldn't say j'ai jamais agréé to mean "I never agreed" but rather je n'étais jamais d'accord/je n'ai jamais donné mon accord or je n'ai jamais accepté.

As always, more of the surrounding text would help to make sense of what's going on.

There is something very wrong with this sentence.

Could we have the full context, please. What is this about, and what does it say before and after this?

Further on in the correspondence, there is the text "J'aurais agrée que tu prenne la moitié de la patte CS?". No indication of what "CS" stands for either, sorry. It seems the correspondence mixes in some "franglais" here in there, so I'm wondering if maybe they mean "pot" as in "money pot", possibly but just spelled it like French. I've seen many cases where franglais is improperly used.
