On another note, someone may wish to have only one nationality e.g. they may have greater protection if they were to become stateless upon loss of British Nationality. You do not know the reasons and should not judge. The OP should be able to just complete the necessary forms, a reason for renunciation should not be necessary.
I guess I should have given you guys a bit of back ground to why I responded in such a way. Ok - for the sake of others I should responded slightly differently but I got a bit pissed off with what she had to say hence I responded in such a way. It is fine that she can do anything she likes but what she said insulted me as well and here its how..
There is a class of people in Pakistan in cities such as Lahore and Karachi that is considered belonging to an elite class based on their day to day lives and shamefully all of them are embarrassed to be called Pakistanis. They try their out most to distance them selves from the very country they live in, they speak English at home (which is laughable btw), do all things with in their reach to mirror what is done in EU, USA etc, attend secret night clubs, take drugs.. You know what I mean. How do I know this, well, I am a Pakistani my self and have lived and worked with these people.
I find it very insulting as well when some one like them refuses to accept where they come from and shows disrespect to the very culture they were born in. Its kind of saying that, yeah, I am finally out of the ghetto, I should have never been there in the first place and oh btw, you all are below me.
I am sorry for the rant but I had to say this because it touched a nerve when I read her post and reminded me some bitter memories.

Hey calm down and stop misjudging peoples did i mentioned any where that i am embarrassed of being a Pakistani ? so why the hell you are assuming things by yourself . i believe the peoples like you Disgust others because you are not mature enough to guide you are only good in criticism. i simply choose Britain to live my life i wanted to be loyal and dedicated to this country having a simple straight life of one standard and don't wanted to be mixed up of double standard & double cultures that is why i don't wanted to be associated with an other citizenship it is as simple as it is but for the Pakistan High Commission they need a logical reason not the sentimental and that is why i asked MATURE members of the forum to give a better advise or to guide me what should i write in the letter.
I am calm and I am not judging you either, I am just looking at your reasoning and justification. I find it funny when you say that you do not want to have double standards and double cultures! Since when it says that having two nationalities means having double standards when it is totally legal to do so by your original country? Also, what do you mean by having double cultures? You are telling me that all of a sudden you are going to start living differently? How do you do that? Can you teach me? Look, based on what you have said I still think there is something not right
As to what to write to the high commission, I will be careful (and I am being honest here). You do not want to write something silly because if some thing happens believe me they will give you a hard time, they can literally refuse you entry to Pakistan ever again. Because what you tell them can insult them as well, don't you understand something called Pride?
Anyways good luck with your application.
