Series with therms 1/F.k and 1/F.k+3 converges (see Reciprocal Fibonacci constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Also you can decompose S = S1 +S2 with S1 = 1/F.k*1/F.k+2 and S2 = 1/k+1*1/F.k+3. Notice that 1/Fk+1 and 1/F.k+3 are bounded and monotone decrecent sequences. So applying Abbel test (see Abel's test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) to S1 and S2 you prove that S converges because S1 and S2 converges.

Best regards.
