Please paste the code of index.js. – jhohlfeld
And btw it's this.emit(':tell', 'Hello World') – jhohlfeld
also please point out which library are you using to process the requests. If it is the alexa-sdk or some other third party one you found on npm – ren.rocks

Make sure you have installed 'alexa-sdk' package in your node module (npm install --save alexa-sdk). If you already installed that Please share code of index.js.

Probably you haven't upload the libraries in the lambda funcition, if you are using node, you have to upload the node_modules

You should access lambda folder and run "yarn" or "npm install" depending on which one you are using.
