How big is an "average" email message? 1 MB? 1 KB?

I need to buy an international data plan for a trip. The one for my iPad is $25 for 50 MB of data. Assuming an email has, let's say, 1000 characters and a small jpg for some company logo. How big is that?

I am just looking for a gross estimate.

The size of the photo will make the most difference
