PROMISEE. A person to whom a promise has been made. 
     2. In general a promisee can maintain an action on a promise made to 
him, but when the consideration moves not from the promisee, but some other 
person, the latter, and not the promisee, has a cause of action, because he 
is the person for whose use the contract was made. Latch, 272; Poph. 81; 3
