If you are configuring policies for a SAM Lambda or using a YAML configuration file, you would use something like this:

template.yaml

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31
Description: 'your-email-lambda'

Resources:
  YourEmailFunction:
    Type: AWS:Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      Policies:
        - Version: '2012-10-17'
          Statement:
            - Effect: Allow
              Action:
                - 'ses:SendEmail'
                - 'ses:SendRawEmail'
              Resource: '*'
