We consider the zero dissipation limit of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with Riemann initial data in the case of superposition of two rarefaction waves and a contact discontinuity. It is proved that for any suitably small viscosity $\varepsilon$ and heat conductivity $\kappa$ satisfying the relation \eqref{viscosity}, there exists a unique global piecewise smooth solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, as the viscosity $\varepsilon$ tends to zero, the Navier-Stokes solution converges uniformly to the Riemann solution of superposition of two rarefaction waves and a contact discontinuity to the corresponding Euler equations with the same Riemann initial data away from the initial line $t=0$ and the contact discontinuity located at $x=0$.
