FILED BY: AMERICAN CENTURY MUNICIPAL TRUST PURSUANT TO RULE 425 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED SUBJECT COMPANY: AMERICAN CENTURY MUNICIPAL TRUST SEC REGISTRATION STATEMENT NO. 333-140914 Dear [Shareholder], It was a pleasure speaking with you last week regarding your American Century investment. I enjoyed our discussion very much, and I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me. I hope the information I shared with you was helpful. As we discussed, I am following up on our conversation with a copy of the current proxy statements. As the majority shareholder in the Advisor Class of our Tax-Free Bond fund, your vote is critical in our efforts to achieve quorum in our ongoing proxy solicitation process. We would appreciate your serious consideration very much. While I know you currently have reservations about the significance of your vote, it's important for you to know that two different independent bodies recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the resolutions listed in the proxy. 1. INSTITUTIONAL SHAREHOLDER SERVICES (ISS) - ISS is a company that provides in-depth, objective proxy research and provides informed voting recommendations to shareholders. Their mission is to help shareholders manage risk and drive value. They have publicly recommended that shareholders vote in favor of these proposals. 2. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR TAX-FREE BOND - The Board, which includes all of the independent trustees, also unanimously recommends that shareholders vote for the proposals. Keep in mind that these independent members of the Board are not employees of American Century Investments, and it's their job to oversee the funds on behalf of the shareholders. They are the shareholders' advocate and have determined that these proposals are in the best interest of shareholders. The easiest and quickest way to vote is on-line or by phone. To vote on the internet, go to www.proxyweb.com. You will need your proxy card control number(s) from the information mailed to you to utilize the web site. If you don't have access to that or prefer to call, phone toll-free at 877-256-6083 and a proxy service representative will assist you. I am happy to answer any additional questions you may have. Please don't hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Thank you again for your time and consideration.
