Top answer

I shall tell hiim' is a better choice because we use 'shall' with I and we when the promise we make is not solely dependent on us. In this case only in the case of you meeting him can you tell him. Look at the sentence below where we can use 'will' or 'shall' for the action is solely dependent on the doer.
