What is the easiest dialect of British English for an American to fake, that would be convincing to Brits?
Easiest English accent to fake
At least in my case, I think a moderate/modern RP accent would be the easiest to do, since it's phonologically the closest to my own Massachusetts accent.
General note to all Americans trying to do an English accent:
Please, please, please make sure you distinguish words like "Mary~merry~marry", and "serious~Sirius", and "worry~whirry", otherwise your accent is going to sound *massively* fake. ;-)

Yale-educated, Connecticut-born George W. Bush does an excellent job of faking a Texas drawl (at least as far as the outside world is concerned). Of course, an East Texas accent (think Lady Bird Johnson) is different than a West Texas one.
I think there´s not a single dialect easy to fake! They all sound - in different ways of course- unique. RP sounds very classy, Cockney sounds great, strong northern accents have a lot of personality...wish I was there just to learn more about them!
