Fetch any notes when the User logs in. So, in AppController::beforeFilter():

$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;

In UsersController::login(), get a Note if it exists. Use
$this->Auth->user('id') for the condition.

You should probably consider having another column, seen, and have
another condition that seen => 0. When you fetch the note, make a
second query to set seen => 1.
