"No Less"
Hi, I have this sentence I'm having some trouble with.
"I think you will understand that I do not find it agreeable to show people an unfinished painting …"
Then I want to add in this or something like it: "I think you will understand that I do not find it agreeable to show people an unfinished painting, and use it to get a grant no less …"
I want to make sure I'm using the phrase "no less" correctly? I think I am. But there are also a couple similar but probably not completely interchangeable phrases that might be more appropriate: "let alone" and "much less."
I also want to make sure "and" is the correct and also best conjunction to be used there? But what I said "and use it to get a grant no less" is still the gist of what I'm trying to say. Thank you. Appreciate the help.

These seem the best way to express your idea. "No less" is possible, but not what I would choose. I think you will understand that I do not find it agreeable to show people an unfinished painting, let alone use it to get a grant.
