echoing data after retrieving it via "find". cake doesn't echo the actual value, but rather "array"

hi everyone,

i am about to implement a "forgot password" feature. for that the user
has to enter his email adress and then receives his new password. in
this email i want to start

Hello <username>,

you forgot.....bla bla

but i am having problems to actually get the username out of my
database. it always says "hello array"

i am using the "find" function

$adressee = $this->User->find(array('User.email' =>$user),
array('username'), null, false);

to set the placeholder in my email i do this:

$this->set('username', $adressee)
...
...
$this->Email->send();

any idea how i get the actual value out of it?

thanks so much
