CORRECTED - First Calgary seeks shareholder vote delay

(Fixes spelling of minister's name to Khelil in paragraph 3)

CALGARY, Alberta, April 7 (Reuters) - First Calgary Petroleums Ltd (FCP.TO: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Monday it will seek court approval to delay its annual meeting slated for Tuesday until April 18, to give shareholders time to consider a letter of support for its management from the Algerian government.

Dissident shareholders are seeking to oust Richard Anderson, First Calgary's chief executive, in a vote at the meeting, but company spokesman Jeff Angel said the delay would give investors a chance to consider the letter.

The letter, from Algerian Energy Minister Chakib Khelil, expressed concern about possible board changes at First Calgary. (Reporting by Scott Haggett; Editing by Renato Andrade)
