I doubt one arrow would be able to kill a Nazgul. The Nazgul normally stayed together in groups and were powerful enough on their own. As Gandalf put it few could ride against the nine. It is not like Elrond or Legolas could just walk up to a Nazgul and kill it.

Jeff sums it up pretty well. Sauron and Morgoth both share the same goal, to dominate all not to assassinate. Also an elf as an assassin seems really out of place. I don't think Tolkien would have even thought of anything close to that.
