1. A computer system comprising:
- a processor coupled to a memory, the processor and the memory configured to;
infer an identity of a recipient of a communication to be sent from or on behalf of a sender based on one or more recipient criteria indicative of the identity of the recipient;
infer, from among multiple possible locations, an expected future location of the recipient based on one or more location criteria indicative of the multiple possible locations and based on an automated analysis of content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources;
detect an actual location of a mobile computing device associated with the recipient, including detecting GPS coordinates of the mobile computing device; and
cause the communication to be sent to the recipient when the actual location of mobile computing device associated with the recipient is within a threshold distance of the expected future location.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes generating a communication to be sent from a sender to a recipient who are related to one another by blood or employment; and scheduling delivery of the communication to the recipient based on a future location of the recipient. The content of the communication and the future location of the recipient are determined from an analysis of electronically-accessible resources by or about the sender, the recipient, or both.
