So its not really safe, is it?

The problem is I need to encrypt a message but I dont know the recipient yet. 
So I considered a passphrase method.
Cause he dont need to send me his public key (if he has any). 

But.... OK I will try to encrypt the message with a new created private key 
(specially created for the recipient) which I will send later to him, so he 
will be able to decrypt the message. A bit complicated but possible, I think!?
