Frank Sinatra's daughter Nancy has appealed to Twitter bosses to shut down an account on the micro-blogging site set up in her late father's name.
Nancy asked her fans for help after learning the Twitter tag @ratpackfrank had been verified by website executives as an official account of the iconic singer.
In a desperate plea, she tweeted, "Friends, how do we get rid of the phony but verified Frank Sinatra? That is Not my dad. Help."
