The HR (Human Resources) people at American companies are used to the American system of measuring Grades -- usually on the 4.0 scale (0.0 = F, 3.0 = B, 4.0 = A). Just convert your GPA to the 4.0 scale and write that on your resume. Or just write down "A+" average.

You want to make it as clear as possible that you are a strong applicant. Don't make the HR people think too hard about converting your GPA. They'll just get confused.

Wouldn't it be safer if he used some sort of percentile system? Something like 5%-10% for the GPA-equivalent exam in Egypt? (with the actual score afterwards in case they want to check).
