Hello
My name is Salman and I'm from Pakistan. I can speak english very well. But so many times I feel guilty due to my accent. I would like to improve my accent and I like to speak a British people.
I hope you will reply me. I look forward to you.
Thanking you
Salman Farsi
Make sure you're listening to a lot of the target accent, and practise different mouth positions until you can do it. Try recording yourself and comparing it to a British speaker recording. Check these out for sources:

Hi Salman,
I totally understand your feeling of speaking good English but with some annoying accent.
It has troubled me for a long time and even now I am still not totally confident in speaking to the local people, but before I came to Australia from China no one has ever told me that I have an accent. I was over-confident with my oral English before & afterwards I am now under-confident with it. Why is it so hard for the local people (Aussie) understand me? Actually at the beginning, I couldn't understand them either.
So now I am insisting on watching TV everyday for at least 1 hour to assure that I am getting involved in this local environment in their language. So if you want to reduce your accent, my advice would be talking to Bristish People,or listing to some tapes & radio as the other guys suggested.
Take your time in doing it, but be aware that you will never get rid of your mother accent totally.
Lucy
