//sentEmailID:=getStringOrBlank(sentEmail[i])+doubleQuote+sentEmailID;–not worked  
//sentEmailID:=getStringOrBlank(sentEmail[i])+char(34)+sentEmailID; --not worked  
//sentEmailID:=getStringOrBlank(sentEmail[i])+“\u022”+sentEmailID; --not worked

Please try escape using `\`

Like  
sentEmailID:=`"\""+getStringOrBlank(sentEmail[i])+"\""+sentEmailID;`

`string email:= "\"ajithkumar.thiru@gmail.com\"";`  
should output ` "ajithkumar.thiru@gmail.com"`
