Including UMS in reference

It's been suggested to me by various people that it'd be a good idea to ask for my UMS to be included in my reference as a way of making myself stand out among other candidates.

I only plan on asking for Maths & Economics to be included since those are the two most important (as well as being the two best). I got 100% in Economics, 98.33% in Maths, 93.33% in Further Maths as well as 87 in C3, which I took as an extra module.
With my Maths UMS, I have a couple of options:
1) 98.33% in Maths and 93.33% in FM.
2) 95.83% in Maths and FM combined
3) 94.57% in all Maths modules taken
4) 97% in best 6 Maths modules (C1-3, M1, S1, D1)

To me, the best option seems to be the last one, however is this allowed? None of my results have been certificated if that makes any difference. If I could include that, how would it need to be phrased? Since it's not technically the UMS of my Maths&FM AS levels, but a bit of a random collection of modules.

Thank you!
