Why can't I send emails through amazon ses on Node?

I'm using "aws-sdk": "^2.117.0", my code looks like this:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
exports.sendAWSMail = function(message, destination){
  const ses = new AWS.SES();
  // http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/SES.html#sendEmail-property
  const sendEmail = ses.sendEmail;
  var data = {
    Destination: {
     ToAddresses: [
        "[email protected]"
     ]
    },
    Message: {
     Body: {
      Html: {
       Charset: "UTF-8",
       Data: "This message body contains HTML formatting. It can, for example, contain links like this one: <a class=\"ulink\" href=\"http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon SES Developer Guide</a>."
      },
      Text: {
       Charset: "UTF-8",
       Data: "This is the message body in text format."
      }
     },
     Subject: {
      Charset: "UTF-8",
      Data: "Test email"
     }
    },
    Source: "[email protected]",
   }
  sendEmail(data)
}

But I get this error:

TypeError: this.makeRequest is not a function at svc.(anonymous function) (/Users/iagowp/Desktop/trampos/frutacor/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/service.js:499:23)

I didn't find any Node examples at their website, but from what I've seen elsewhere (like here), it looks correct. What am I doing wrong?

The main problem is in line #5 and it's always a good idea to add the callback function for logging errors and successful requests.

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
exports.sendAWSMail = function(message, destination){
  const ses = new AWS.SES();
  var data = {
    Destination: {
     ToAddresses: [
        "[email protected]"
     ]
    },
    Message: {
     Body: {
      Html: {
       Charset: "UTF-8",
       Data: "This message body contains HTML formatting. It can, for example, contain links like this one: <a class=\"ulink\" href=\"http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon SES Developer Guide</a>."
      },
      Text: {
       Charset: "UTF-8",
       Data: "This is the message body in text format."
      }
     },
     Subject: {
      Charset: "UTF-8",
      Data: "Test email"
     }
    },
    Source: "[email protected]",
   }
   ses.sendEmail(data, function(err, data) {
     if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
     else     console.log(data);           // successful response
   });
}
