Say he did'nt know I was going to email him/her.
Then they may well consider it to be spam. I have my email inbox set to only let mail from known or whitelisted addresses through. Everything else is spammed. I then whitelist the people I expect to receive mail from. Many people do exactly the same with their email accounts, and no matter what you do, your message will go to spam.
If you have their email addresses then they must have signed up to receive something, or you have some sort of relationship. Therefore they will be expecting email from you, so you should be able to tell them your address at the time and they can whitelist it. For example:

Enter your email address to sign up to our newsletter: ________________
NB: To prevent our mail being marked as spam, please add newsletter@example.com to your email whitelist. Thank you.
