In answering this question, one needs to consider why the OP’s wrote ‘ . . . AND MORE!’ (in all capitals, with an exclamation point), rather than just ‘ . . . and more’ .

What would be the correct word to use when referring to three or more items, in the same manner as the word both? For example, using two words, with the word both: "There are several recommendations I have to further improve the sites — both to improve their profit, and decrease their cost."

They may very likely have tasks that are more important than the one you are asking of them. Saying "Please do this as soon as possible" is not rude ...
A more intimate and more meaningful word than partner could be, soulmate, sometimes spelled as two words, soul mate. A soulmate is a person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity. This may involve similarity, love, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, or compatibility and trust.
15. Here is a general rule of thumb: if you mean "a different [noun]", then it is more appropriate to use "an other"; if you mean "an additional [noun]", then it is more appropriate to use "another".
