How to Display your CFA knowledge without having written it/passing it?

I applied to this gig a while ago and just received an e-mail from them today asking if I could forward my proof of passing CFA 1.

Have a pretty big dilemma though. I studied for level 1 all throughout the first half of the year in attempts to actually write it in june but something unexpected happened. My grandfather past away days before the exam and the funeral was held on the day of the exam date.

It's not like I don't know the material like the back of my hand, just how can I convince an employer that I know my shit?
